To respond to these challenges, a multi agent system (MAS) coupled with flow-based ID techniques may effectively complement traditional ID systems. This paper develops: 1) a scalable software architecture for a new, self-organized, multi agent, flow-based ID system; and 2) a network simulation environment suitable for evaluating implementations of this MAS architecture and for other research purposes. Self-organization is achieved via 1) a \"reputation\" system that influences agent mobility in the search for effective vantage points in the network; and 2) multi objective evolutionary algorithms that seek effective operational parameter values. This paper illustrates, through quantitative and qualitative evaluation, 1) the conditions for which the reputation system provides a significant benefit; and 2) essential functionality of a complex network simulation environment supporting a broad range of malicious activity scenarios. These results establish an optimistic outlook for further research in flow-based multi agent systems for ID in computer networks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46863071150231,"sku":"9781249586654","price":1583.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781249586654.webp?v=1769968734","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-multi-agent-system-for-flow-based-intrusion-detection-using-reputation-and-evolutionary-computation-9781249586654","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
