A Distributed Event Messaging System for Mobile Agent Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent mobility presents distinct challenges not handled by traditional, distributed, communication frameworks. By nature, mobile agents change location over time, making targeted messaging difficult to achieve. Also, a communication infrastructure must handle the case that the agent may be migrating when the message is sent. We have implemented a Distributed Event Messaging System (DEMS) that satisfies the communication requirements unique to mobile agents. This infrastructure has enabled efficient control and monitoring of our mobile agents and has facilitated mobile agent collaboration and coordination.

Awareness and Agility for Autonomic Distributed Systems: Platform-Independent Publish-Subscribe Event-Based Communication for Mobile Agents
We propose using the publish-subscribe model to complement proprietary or standard agent communication languages, useful particularly in the case of exchanging and disseminating short communications about events and consequently, reducing complexity of multi-agent messaging. We describe how we implemented the event notification mechanism for mobile agents, and analyse experiments that demonstra...

Mobile agent communication in multi-agent communities where agents come from different heterogeneous toolkits and platforms is still very much a research challenge. We propose to use the publishsubscribe model as complementary (and sometimes alternative) to proprietary or standard agent communication languages, useful particularly in the case of exchanging and disseminating short communications...

متن کاملA Secure Communication Framework for Mobile Agents
Communication, a fundamental concept in computing, allows two pieces of software to interact and to exchange information. It is an important aspect of mobile agent systems because mobile agents generally need to coordinate their activities through some type of communication. Using mobile agent technologies provides potential benefits to distributed applications; however, an agent’s ability to m...
