I'm looking for tools that implement the distributed agent/service model ... I guess we could also call this grid or cloud computing, but I'm not sure the term is exactly analagous. A distributed agent model would be one where developers build agents that are dispatched to a framework and the framework executes the agent somewhere in th...
I was wondering if something exists (in Java world) able to take an snapshot of the JVM current state with the following features: Do it while an exception is being thrown. Capture local variables, method's arguments, etc. Put it in a handy file which can be used to extract or reproduce in a IDE the situation in your source code. The...
Can anyone tell me how to find available agent containers through java code? I am using the JADE agent framework and I have figured out how to create new containers but not find existing containers (so that agents can be deployed in them). ...
Recently i have been getting into alternative languages that support an actor/agent/shared nothing architecture - ie. scala, clojure etc (clojure also supports shared state). So far most of the documentation that I have read focus around the intro level. What I am looking for is more advanced documentation along the gang of four but in...
Does anyone have a list of the common user agent strings that email clients use when opening HTML emails? I'm looking to do some pixel web bug detection using PHP on an email campaign. ...
I've got an agent that takes in states and returns actions, while keeping an internal representation of the utility of state/action pairs. I've also got an environment that takes in actions and returns state/reward pairs. I need to be able to set the agent up with a start state and then continuously go from agent -(action)-> environment...
Hello, I came across an issue I can't resolve, here are the details: I am using TFS2008 in my APPTier and in my Build Agent. Initially I installed everything in the Apptier server (including the build agent), and I was able to start an build in the Apptier(and build) server. Now, I have to create a new Build agent in a different server...
Hi, Anyone can give me Information about Quality Agent Test tool (QAT). Regards Manish ...
Hi, I would like to create an application that will traverse a Virtual Infrastructure using the vSphere Web Services API (this part I have handled) and perform and unattended install of some given package on Linux and Windows machines (this latter part I can't figure out. It looks like you can not use the VMware Update Manager to insta...
I need to be able to start/stop a per-session GUI agent from a root level daemon. Similar issues are discussed here, here and here. What I want to be able to do is basically for num in `ps ax | grep [s]bin/launchd | cut -c 1-5`; do if [ $num -ne 1 ]; then sudo launchctl bsexec $num launchctl (un)load -S Aqua /Libra...
Coming from an academic background in mutli-agent systems (developed in Java using JADE) I have only been peripherally aware of the Actor concurrency paradigm. Now that I've started exploring Scala I couldn't help but be struck by the similarities between the Agent and Actor approaches. I'm very tempted to use Scala's Actor library for...
I have a problem I am not able to solve. Let's assume we have the following two classes and an inheritance relationship: public class A { } public class B extends A { public void foo() {} } I want to instrument additional code such that it looks as follows: public class A { public void print() { } } public class B extends A...
I am using Angel LMS and its built on a SQL Server platform. I believe its 2005, but not 100% sure about that. Anyway, maybe my pseudo-code will shed light on that answer. Also single quotes must be used for strings and the concatenate character is +. I need to have something run 2-5 times a day (the frequency is not determined yet...
Hi! My (potential) customer is using Windows Server 2003 and students computers are just terminals. My application relies heavily in Microsoft Agent technology and now customer is complaining that the application gives errors about "not supported". I wonder if it would help if MS Agent would be installed into local computers - does it ...
Hi, I have a scenario where my server side java code needs to interact with an application on the client desktop. So I was researching on if there are any simple frameworks to enable such interaction, say using web-services or pure java-servlets. I could create one custom framework to enable this, but the technical challenge I foresee wo...
Has there been any agent-based simulation models built for investigating software engineering processes or problems? (e.g. collaboration in agile vs. traditional warefall, QA defect trends, open source project growth...etc) ...
I have a job which is calling 10 other jobs using sp_start_job. The job is having 10 steps, each step calling each sub jobs, When i execute the main job, i can see it started with step 1 and in a few secods it shows 'finished successfully' But the jobs take long time time, and when i see the log mechanism i have put inside , it shows the...
Why is most of the agent research and work done in Java? Is there a reason that the developers seem to have completely steered clear of .net framework or is it that it just doesn't get talked about among researchers as the .net is more commercial than Java? ...
I would like to simulate some scenarios using the multiagent paradigm, and it seems NetLogo and Repast are the most popular tools for that. I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with either one and could tell me more about them? For example, I've noticed that there is a fluxogram-like modeling option for Repast, but I belie...
After not having a whole bunch of luck finding any SNMP libraries for .NET that can act as SNMP agents (that can be used in an OSS project - meaning proprietary libs are out), I am now looking at implementing a simple SNMP agent class in C#. Can anyone provide any good examples or reference implementations of an SNMP agent (ideally nice...
