“…Systems such as the World Wide Web (the Web) or Operating Systems are examples of open systems where new web servers or new programs can freely join and interact [5]. Such systems operate with certain degrees of uncertainty [7], as external actors can interfere in any given moment, and existing actors may leave. These open systems rely on interfaces, protocols and data types to enable the interactions within the system.…”

In recent years, the increasing concerns around the centralized cloud web services (e.g. privacy, governance, surveillance, security) have triggered the emergence of new distributed technologies, such as IPFS or the Blockchain. These innovations have tackled technical challenges that were unresolved until their appearance. Existing models of peer-to-peer systems need a revision to cover the spectrum of potential systems that can be now implemented as peer-to-peer systems. This work presents a framework to build these systems. It uses an agent-oriented approach in an open environment where agents have only partial information of the system data. The proposal covers data access, data discovery and data trust in peer-to-peer systems where different actors may interact. Moreover, the framework proposes a distributed architecture for these open systems, and provides guidelines to decide in which cases Blockchain technology may be required, or when other technologies may be sufficient.

Ontologies play an essential role in knowledge sharing and exploration, especially in multiagent systems. Intrusion is an unauthorized activity in a network, which is achieved by either active manner (information gathering) or passive manner (harmful packet forwarding). Most of the existing intrusion detection system (IDS) suffers from the following issues: it is usually adjusted to detect known service level network attacks and leaves from vulnerable to original and novel malicious attacks. Thus, it provides low accuracy and detection rate, which are the important problems of existing IDS. To overwhelm these drawbacks, an ontology-based multiagent IDS framework is developed in this work for intrusion detection. The main intention of this work is to detect the network attacks with the help of multiple detection agents. In this analysis, there are 3 different types of agents, ie, IDS broker, deputy commander, and response agent, which are used to prevent and detect the attacks in a network. The novel concept of this work is based on the concept of signature matching; it identifies and detects the attackers with the help of multiple agents.

“…The decentralized nature of building distributed MAS, none single centre, the components heterogeneity, the potential communication with any node make multi-agent environment maximum vulnerable to any kind of these threats [6].…”

This paper presented the main information, security problems and threats in open multi-agent distributed e-learning information systems and Proposed various approaches to solve information security attacks in virtual learning environment using service oriented architecture which based on multi-agent information systems architecture, the solution on the multi-agent learning information system implementation based on the implementation of two types of systems the first system with the centralized mobile agent information security management and the second system with decentralized mobile agents security management, and proposed the migration behaviour simulation for their active software components (software agents).
