Evolution of Intelligent Software Agents
The talk will focus on the evolution of models, techniques, technologies and applications of software agents in the last years. Rapidly evolving areas of software agents range from programming paradigms to artificial intelligence. Driven by different motivations, an heterogeneous body of research carried out under this banner. In each research area the acceptance of agents has always been at once critical, or skeptical and enthusiastic for promising future opportunities. Nevertheless efforts have bee continuously spent to advance the research in this field. One example for all is the semantic web vision, whereby machine readable web data could be automatically actioned upon by intelligent software web agents. Maybe it has yet to be realised, however semantic semantic enrichment of web metadata and of digital archives are constantly growing including links to domain vocabularies and ontologies and supporting more and more advanced reasoning.

Securing Mobile Wireless Networks
The area of mobile computing aims towards providing connectivity to various mobile users. As there has been an increasing demand by the users that the information be available to them at any place and at any time, this has led to more use of mobile devices and networks. Since the wireless networks such as WLAN and Wi-Fi require the use of the unlicensed ISM band for data communication, there has been an increased threat to its users, as their data may be modified/fabricated. Additionally these type of networks are further prone to various other threats which may even result in cyber-attacks and cyber-crime. Thus there is a need to protect the users/devices from such threats leading to loss of important financial data and in some cases leakage of important defence documents of certain targeted countries.
