Abstract:

In this paper, I propose the creation of an agentbased system that would monitor and assess the
risks associated with membership in a Community Network (CN); Risks such as malicious attacks on a CN, compromises of data integrity and the privacy of members of the CN.  The goal of such project is to design an agent capable of evaluating and reporting on the security state of the CN and inform the community leader of such a problem so that risks can be efficiently managed.
