A Multimedia Transportable Agent System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the role and the advantages of mobile agents in the world of computing and describes the Multimedia Transportable Agent System, a prototype we are currently developing. The main goals of the system are to provide support for agent-based applications and to combine the multimedia and the agent technologies: mobile agents can travel and execute on different nodes along the network and manipulate data of various media types such as audio and video.

Ph.D. Thesis Proposal: Transportable Agents
One of the paradigms that has been suggested for allowing e cient access to remote resources is transportable agents. A transportable agent is a named program that can migrate from machine to machine in a heterogeneous network. The program chooses when and where to migrate. It can suspend its execution at an arbitrary point, transport to another machine and resume execution on the new machine. ...
متن کاملEffect of levels of realism of mobile-based pedagogical agents on health e-learning
Background: One of the ways for effective communication between learners and instructional multimedia content in mobile learning systems is taking advantage of characters or pedagogical agents. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the levels of realism in mobile-based pedagogical agents on health e-learning. Methods: The s...
متن کاملA Structure for Transportable, Dynamic Multimedia Documents
This paper presents a document structure for describing transportable, dynamic multimedia documents. Multimedia documents consist of a set of discrete data components that are joined together in time and space to present a user (or reader) with a single coordinated whole. Transportable documents are those in which the document structure can be accessed across system environments independently o...
متن کاملAgent Tcl: A transportable agent system
Agent Tcl is a transportable-agent system that is under development at Dartmouth College. A transportable agent is a named program that can migrate from machine to machine in a heterogeneous network. Such programs are a powerful tool for implementing information agents since the electronic resources in a user's information space are often distributed across a network and can contain tremendous ...
متن کاملFast compression of transportable Tcl agents
An information agent is charged with the task of searching a collection of electronic resources for information that is relevant to the user's current needs. These resources are often distributed across a network and can contain tremendous quantities of data. One of the paradigms that has been suggested for allowing e cient access to such resources is transportable agents { the agent is sent to...
