Extending UML State Diagrams to Model Agent Mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a simplified form of UML state diagrams for modeling agent mobility. Mobile agent has gained more importance technology. The notations used to model agent mobility are focused on capturing agent creation, mobility paths and current agent location. In this paper, we demonstrate how the simplification of the state UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams can be used for modeling mobile agent applications. The paper concludes with the appropriateness of the presented approach for modeling agent mobility with UML state diagrams as well as with sequence diagrams of the mobile agent system.

Modelling Mobile Agent Applications in UML2.0 Activity Diagrams
Mobile agent technology has gained more importance recently due to the rapid advance of high-performance mobile devices with high-speed wireless telecommunications technology such as 3G. However design methodologies for mobile agent applications are not mature enough to support their software development process. We proposed an extension of Activity Diagrams in UML 1.5 for modelling mobile agen...
متن کاملModelling Mobile Agent Applications by Extended UML Activity Diagram
Mobile agent technology has gained increasing importance in recent years. However, little work has been done in defining notations/languages to capture and model mobile agent applications. This paper presents extensions of UML activity diagrams for modelling mobile agent applications, which capture specific features of mobile agents such as mobility, cloning and communications.
متن کاملExtending Activity Diagrams to Model Mobile Systems
Mobile systems are gaining more and more importance, nevertheless the means for their specifications are still underdeveloped. Existing UML diagrams can be used to conveniently model behavior, but these diagrams can be hardly used to model mobility. In this paper we present an extension to UML class and activity diagrams to model mobile systems. We assume that mobile objects can migrate from on...
متن کاملM-UML: an extension to UML for the modeling of mobile agent-based software systems
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems [The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, 1998]. However, UML cannot describe in an explicit manner the mobility requirements needed for modeling mobile agent-based software systems. In this paper, we present M-UML, our proposed extension to UML covering...
متن کاملTwo Approaches to Code Mobility in an Agent-based E-commerce System
Recently, a model multi-agent e-commerce system based on mobile buyer agents and transfer of strategy modules was proposed. In this paper a different approach to code mobility is introduced, where agent mobility is replaced by local agent creation supplemented by similar code mobility as in the original proposal. UML diagrams of agents involved in the new approach to mobility and the augmented ...
