Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The notions of agents and multi-agent systems are understood in both academic and industrial domains. Research on these fields is advanced, but they are too extensive to easily grasp. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive research summary of the theory and application in the field of agent- and multi-agent-based systems. The scope includes, but is not limited to: agent-based modeling and simulation, agent-based software construction and software engineering, frameworks of artificial intelligence based on agents, agent-based software platforms, distributed problem solving and distributed artificial intelligence, and agents and multi-agent systems in general.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In recent years, most internet communications have focused on accessing content such as video, web services, and audio. Conversely, traditional Internet communications are inefficient because they are primarily designed for data transfer between hosts. In response, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a content-oriented networking model. The impact of ICN in reducing the location dependency of data and its high compatibility with ad hoc networks has led to research on realizing Information-Centric ad hoc Networks (ICANET). There has also been extensive research into caching content in the network, which is one of the features of ICN. In static networks, methods have been proposed to cache highly popular content in nodes that are more likely to be used for shortest paths. However, in dynamic networks, content with high popularity should be cached on nodes that are more likely to reach all nodes, as missing nodes need to be taken into account. In this study, we propose a cache control scheme for content caching in ICANET that utilizes both content popularity and the closeness centrality of nodes within the ad hoc network as indicators. To realise the proposed method, a new packet flow based on the Pending Interest Table (PIT) and Content Store (CS) was implemented in the forwarding strategy of ICN. The experiments used ndnSIM, a protocol implementation of NDN based on Network Simulator3, which is widely used in wireless network research. The experimental results showed that the cache hit rate could be increased by up to 4.5% in situations with low content bias. In the same situation, the response delay was also reduced by up to 28.3%. Full article
