Abstract:

This paper presents the development of an agent-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) system that supports multimedia service brokering. The VPN agents employ multi-attribute preference models in order to represent the end-user preferences, and a multi-criteria decision making model to evaluate available services from network providers. A prototype multi-agent system demonstrating the proposed approach has also been implemented.
