The LEGO MINDSTORMS toolkit can be used to help students learn basic programming and engineering concepts. The ROBOLAB software is widely used to program LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics in its icon-based programming environment. However, this software does not provide debug features for LEGO MINDSTORMS programs. Users cannot test the program before downloading it into LEGO robotics hardware. This book introduces a simulator to simulate the motions of LEGO robotics in a virtual 3D environment. The simulator uses ODE (Open Dynamic Engine) and OpenGL, combined with ROBOLAB. It can track and display program execution as the simulation runs. An introduction to the overall structure and architecture of the simulator is given and is followed by a detailed description of each component in the system. The discussions based on several test results are then given. This leads to the conclusion that the simulator is able to accurately represent the actions of robots under certain assumptions and conditions. This work should help users to understand basic robotic simulation concepts, especially for those users who are working with LEGO MINDSTORMS."

The theme of this book is an examination of security patterns for mobile agents systems and a unique weighting scheme for security patterns. It is motivated by the trend within software engineering, artificial intelligence to develop systems, which possess disconnects between security integration and system practicality. Security experts within software engineering are primarily concerned with the many facets of system security, while the mobile agent/distributed system developer is primarily concerned with building small commercial or academic prototypes systems that work for a particular research problem. This has led to the contemporary problem of ad-hoc mobile agent/distributed system development in disjointed pieces in which security is typically considered as an afterthought not as aforethought. Security patterns are a unique way to bridge the gap between practical secure systems, specialized prototype systems within the interdisciplinary fields of software engineering, and artificial intelligence. These security patterns allow the community to exploit the knowledge and experience of sophisticated members of their community as well as provide a framework for discussion.
