چکیده

There is a need for agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies that support the conceptual modelling of mobile agent systems. In this paper, we present m-GAIA, our extension to the GAIA methodology for modelling mobile agent systems. m-GAIA incorporates explicit constructs to perform the analysis and design of multiagent systems which include mobile agents. We also present our experiences in mapping the conceptual models developed in m-GAIA to an implementation using the Grasshopper mobile agent toolkit.

MGAIA: Extending the GAIA Methodology to Model Mobile Agent Systems

Mobile agents are a class of software agents that have the ability to move from host to host and are particularly relevant for mobile and distributed applications. The development of several mobile agent implementation environments has necessitated conceptual modelling techniques for mobile agent applications. In this paper, we present mGaia, our extension of the Gaia Agent Oriented Software En...

AT2AI-6: From Agent Theory to Agent Implementation Preface

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 tas...

Building distributed applications with Java mobile agents

Mobile agents are quite a novel and powerful paradigms for representing and building distributed applications. Despite its growing popularity, the mobile-agent model of computations has some disputable features and needs further study and experimentation. This paper points out some strengths and weaknesses of the general model and its particular implementations, focusing on the Java-based Grass...
