With the increasing speed of computers and communication links, and the successful convergence of both field, computers connected by high speed links now represent and enormously large distributed computing system. At the same time, communication between man and machine is also becoming more diverse and personalized. Networking issues such as evolution of user services, seamless communication between hosts, failure recovery and integration of new technologies arise daily. Problem-specific approaches and corresponding solutions are available at considerable cost. However, a common requirement is adaptability of the computer network to a variety of changes.The purpose of research is first to over- come the drawbacks of present day information processing, simultaneously to foresee the problems that would further sprout with the coming of the new century, and finally to create an environment which could solve those problems in a graceful way, if not optimally. Whenever a change occurs in any part of the information system, the flexible computing environment would absorb it intelligently, homeostatically evolutionarily.In this research, we propose Flexible Computer Communication Networks (FN) as a uniform solution to most of these networking problems. The framework of Flexible Networks can be considered as an intelligent shell enclosing existing networking architectures. An agent - oriented implementation of flexible network is outlined. The conversion of existing network to flexible networks is shown to be incremental, and therefore practicable.The project includes the members from five nations, i. e. Prof. N. Shiratori (Tohoku Univ. ), Prof. Y. Shibata (Toyo Univ. ), and Prof. M. Takizawa(Tokyo Denki Univ. ) from Japan, Prof. Ming T. Liu(Ohio State Univ. ) and Prof. Malio Gerla(UCLA) from USA, Prof. S. M. Deen (Keele Univ. ) from UK, Prof. M. Papazoglou(Tilburg Univ. ) from the Netherland, and Prof. A Min Tjoa(Vienna Univ. of Technology) from Australia.

随着计算机和通信链接的速度不断提高，以及两个字段的成功收敛，现在由高速链路连接的计算机现在代表并非常大的分布式计算系统。同时，人与机器之间的沟通也变得越来越多样化和个性化。网络问题，例如用户服务的演变，主机之间的无缝通信，失败恢复和新技术的集成。特定于问题的方法和相应的解决方案可用于相当大的成本。但是，一个普遍的要求是计算机网络对各种更改的适应性。研究的目的首先要避免当今信息处理的弊端，同时预见到新世纪来临的问题，并最终创建一个可以以一种优雅的方式解决这些问题的环境，即使不是最佳。每当在信息系统的任何部分发生变化时，灵活的计算环境都会以稳态的进化来智能地吸收它。在这项研究中，我们建议灵活的计算机通信网络（FN）作为对大多数这些网络问题的统一解决方案。灵活网络的框架可以被视为一个智能的外壳，封闭了现有的网络体系结构。概述了一个面向代理的弹性网络实现。现有网络转换为灵活的网络被证明是增量的，因此可行。该项目包括来自五个国家的成员，i。 e。 N.
