Comparative Efficiency and Implementation Issues of Itinerant Agent Language on Different Agent Platforms

چکیده
An itinerary scripting language provides a tool to accelerate the development of mobile agent applications. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss research challenges of itinerant mobile agents (ITAG) and describe the migration of ITAG to JADE, the popular FIPA-compliant agent platform. The migration process was based on two major steps: the migration of agent communications and agent tasks (behaviors). The ITAG Engine has been extracted to provide an easy migration to any new agent platform. In our experiments the results show that the current ITAGIII (using JADE) has better performance and stability compared to ITAGII (using Grasshopper). The paper discusses the experiments and comparisons in detail.

Languages for Mobile Agents
Abstract Mobile agents represent a new model for network computing. Many different languages have been used to implement mobile agents. The characteristics that make a language useful for writing mobile agents are: (1) their support of agent migration, (2) their support for agenttoagent communication, (3) how they allow agents to interact with local resources, (4) security mechanisms, (5) e...

متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
