ADAPTIVE MOBILE AGENT COMPUTING. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 192
The mobile agent system is widely considered a rising
and promising distributed computing paradigm;
however, it also faces many challenges, which lie in
the lack of applications, security, infrastructure,
and standards. On the other hand, ubiquitous
computing (Ubicomp) based on Jini technology is
becoming the de facto paradigm of dynamic distributed
system. This research introduces the current
development of mobile agent computing and Jini
technology, analyzes the factors hampering full
acceptance and exploitation of mobile agents and the
limitations of Jini, and describes ongoing research
on JatWing–a Jini-enabled mobile agent computing
framework using distributed enhanced tuple spaces as
its underlying architecture. JatWing aims to
facilitate the practical application of mobile agent
technology by accommodating Jini infrastructure as
well as offering easy communication and
collaboration, fault tolerance, agent tracking, and
disconnected computing mechanism. The JatWing
framework consists of two network middlewares:
AgentStation and AgentBase, both of which are built
on commercial tuple spaces with a few lightweight
daemons at the background.
