چکیده

This paper addresses the problem of managing distributed mobile agent infrastructures. First, the weaknesses of current mobile agent implementations will be discussed and identified from the manageability viewpoint. The solutions devised and experimented in order to alleviate these weaknesses in our own agent platform will then be presented. These solutions are generic and could easily be applied to the majority of existing mobile agent implementations. The paper will finish with the discussion of a new approach we are following in the M&M Project, based on a rather different architecture that significantly reduces the manageability requirements.

Towards Autonomic Infrastructures via Mobile Agents and Active Networks

As we move towards service-oriented complex infrastructures, what is needed, security, robustness, and intelligence distributed within the network. Modern systems are too complicated to be centrally administered; therefore, the need for approaches that provide autonomic characteristics and are able to be selfsustained is evident. We present here one approach towards this goal, i.e., how we can ...

Abstractions and Infrastructures for the Design and Development of Mobile Agent Organizations

Internet applications can take advantage of a paradigm based on autonomous and mobile agents. However, suitable abstractions and infrastructures are required for the effective engineering of such applications. In this paper, we argue that a conceptual framework for context-dependent coordination, supported by an infrastructure based on programmable media, can promote a modular and easy to manag...

Integrating Mobile Agent Infrastructures in Operational ERP Systems

In this paper we present our most recent work carried out in the wider context of the IST-ADRENALIN project, to facilitate formation and lifecycle management of networked enterprises. The projects focus is in designing and building an execution “kernel” for mobile agent applications written in Java, using the Aglets platform and integrating it with any existing ERP system. For integrating mobil...
