SIDAM is a FAPESP funded research
project being developed at the Department
of Computer Science in the Instituto de
Matemática e Estatística (IME) of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP).
Project Goals
The goal of project SIDAM (Distributed Information Systems for Mobile
Agents) is to study the main issues involved in the implementation of
distributed information services to be accessed by mobile agents, to
investigate existing methods, technologies and algorithms and to create
new ones for solving untackled problems. A general model has been
proposed as an integrator of the several research areas involved,
namely: distributed systems, performance analysis, fault tolerance,
software architecture, databases and knowledge representation. The
construction of this model was motivated by a real-life application: an
on-line service providing traffic information in a big city such as São
Paulo. However, we expect the model to be generic enough to be easily
adaptable to a variety of applications, ranging from support systems for
strategical actions to eletronic mail systems for portable computers.
