چکیده
In this article we discuss an architecture for mobile agents. We focus on the components in the architecture that provide eecient, reliable, secure transportation of agents and ditto communication between agents and their environment. These components provide the basis for building a wide variety of agents with various levels of intelligence. We further discuss a prototype of the system, built in Java.

Abstract Using mobile agents, it is possible to bring the code close to the resources, which is not foreseen by the traditional client/server paradigm. Compared to the client/server computing paradigm, the greater flexibility of the mobile agent paradigm comes at additional costs as well as the additional complexity of developing and managing mobile agent-based applications. Such complexity ...
متن کاملMobile Agents for Active Network Management
Traditionally, network management systems have been based on client/server technologies comprised of distributed static agents (servers) and a centralized manager (client). The behavior of such systems has proven to be difficult to modify and/or extend. The use of mobile software agents has been introduced as an alternative to traditional centralized network management techniques. Mobile softwa...
متن کاملBuilding Infrastructure for Mobile Software Agents
Mobile software agents are becoming increasingly more and more popular. To be widely used, mobile agents require a specific infrastructure that supports naming, resolving names to IP addresses, docking stations to suspend agents sent to machines that are off-line, and authentication. This paper describes the Agent Naming System, ANS, which provides all these necessary facilities. We are plannin...
متن کاملOrganization and Mobility in Mobile Agent Computing
A mobile agent system for organizing multiple mobile agents is presented. It provides two unique two mechanisms for dynamically organizing mobile agents, which may be running on single or multiple computers. The first enables a mobile agent to contain other mobile agents inside it and migrate to another mobile agent or computer with its inner agents. It provides an approach to composing large-s...
متن کاملMGAIA: 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...
متن کاملA statecharts-based software development process for mobile agents
Although mobile agents and their supporting infrastructures have been extensively developed, it is still an emerging technology. A wider acceptance of mobile agents would be facilitated with the exploitation of suitable methodologies and tools which fully support their development lifecycle. This paper proposes a Statecharts-based development process for mobile agents, which allows for a seamle...
