We contributed substantially to a better understanding of mobile-agent systems and related areas of ad hoc wireless networks, sensor networks, information retrieval, and middleware for context-aware computing and sensor-information processing.
In addition to contributing numerous papers to the computer science and engineering communities interested in mobile agents and mobile code, we led the community by creating workshops to build the community, and as general chair or program chairs of all the major conferences in the field. Building on our experience in the field we also wrote and presented forward-looking articles on mobile-agent research.
Finally, we contributed ideas and technology to serve in the defense of the nation.
