Bridging Aglets and Web Services to Create a Common Platform for Mobile Agents

This project proposes and implements a system for seamless integration of HP Web Services E-services and IBM Aglet mobile agent applications onto a common platform. The developed software enables all applications written in Aglets and HP Web Services to create joint services across the two platforms. It establishes an environment for collaboration, intercommunication, translation, and bridging. The whole design is thereby highly reusable and portable. This paper also analyses the requirements of E-Commerce and elaborates how effectively a combination of Aglets and HP Web Services can provide the necessary resources. We conclude by suggesting a common model for Aglets, HP Web Services, and traditional Internet components that enhances performance through synergies. The integration combines the advantages of each technology in its respective domains.
