Adaptability in Mobile Agent Systems using Reflection
نویسنده
چکیده
We present in this paper our current investigations dealing with reflection for code mobility. Our study is about reifying different concerns of mobile agent systems in order to ease their customization. Reflection enables the construction of open mobile agent systems and helps separation of concerns. Following previous ideas introduced for reflective middleware, we consider run-time adaptability of agent mechanisms. The main idea is that network introspection can be used to dynamically choose the best execution policy. Based on some well-known design patterns, our approach enables this run-time adaptability of the infrastructure of mobile agent systems.

LEAD++: An Object-Oriented Reflective Language for Dynamically Adaptable Software Model
A software system has dynamic adaptability if it can adapt itself to dynamically changing runtime environments. As open-ended distributed systems and mobile computing systems have spread widely, the need for software systems with dynamic adaptability increases. We propose a software model with dynamic adaptability called DAS and its description language LEAD++. The basic mechanism for dynamic a...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
