Multi-agent system

Stefan ?

Multi-agent system (MAS) as 2nd gen GRID?

MAS: communicative, semantic, generic interaction patterns, agent autonomy

Dynamic, heterogeneous, (1 more)

Trust without security?  Yes, but... dififcult - trust in chaos?

Security without trust?  [yes says yes, but... I say no]

Need to integrate with security, even f is not security

Asset view to security management.  Trust and security are safeguards for system, but also assets.

T&S as enablers for open system services.

Privacy, T&S for ubiquitous services.  (ubiq rather than open??)

US focus on privacy: 2nd party, EU 1st party

OO (KMI) ...     (ref virtual theatre project with sun?)
