Mobile Agents for Distributed Processing of Electronic Records Archives
نویسنده
چکیده
Distributive processing of electronic records archives (ERA) could be a niche for mobile agents to outrival established client-server network computing methods. Archival records are usually very large computer files that consume a large bandwidth when they are transferred from one networked computer to another. This paper describes an ideational ERA distributive processing scenario in which advantages of using mobile agents or knowledgeable objects could outweigh disadvantages and overcome some of the hurdles that are facing mobile agents.
