Applications of Aglet Technology

چکیده
The Internet has evolved from an information space to a market space with thousands of electronic storefronts, auctions and other commercial services. This market space is not without problem. A main problem is the difficulty of finding relevant offers. We present two possible solutions to this problem: Bon Marché and Logistics Agents which were developed with IBM’s Aglet Workbench – a particular implementation of mobile agents. This paper also surveys the agent technology and discusses the different agent building packages available on the market. Finally, it concludes that the future of local interaction, reduced network loading, server flexibility and application autonomy which are supported by mobile agent technology all help to provide a level agility above distributed problem solving.

متن کاملEffectiveness and Suitability of Mobile Agents for Distributed Computing Applications
Autonomous agents are mobile applications that are launched on data warehouses to perform specific queries or to search for patterns in data. With mobile agent technology, a developer is not bound by more traditional distributed computing models, for example, two-tier client-server models, three-tier middleware-oriented models, and so on. The Mobile Agent technology facilitates flexible code di...

In this work we examine mobile autonomous agent technology and its ability to effectively fight a computer virus attack on a network. A mobile agent is an autonomous agent that has the ability to transfer and reproduce itself on other computers within a network [Kotz, 99]. A computer virus is a malicious computer program that infects host systems and replicates itself to other host systems [Hof...
