Using Mobile Agents To Improve the Alignment Between Manufacturing and its IT
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes the notion that Mobile Agent Technology can improve the alignment between IT systems and the real world processes they support. This can aid enterprise agility, particularly where distributed information is a feature, as in the virtual enterprise. A model of the manufacturing Sales/Order process is proposed. The sales order is shown to be a naturally mobile element of the model. The subsequent decomposition of the agent types during detailed design and implementation reveals an abstract pattern for database query using agent technology. Finally, an overview of the security issues associated with mobile agents is discussed.

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 ...
