Paper Abstract:
|
Agents and mobile agents hold significant benefits for current trends in computing. Despite the fact that some industries are actively exploring mobile agent applications, the promised deployment has not taken place as expected. Disagreement on the general view of a mobile agent as well as the diverse definitions of agents have been raised as the potential reasons why industry has not yet adopted agent and mobile technology as widely as expected. Developing agent systems require specialized skills and knowledge in various areas. Accordingly, regardless of a novice mobile agent programmer's computing background, he/she usually has to assimilate specialized knowledge in order to implement mobile agents. Furthermore, to realise the full potential of mobile agents, it should be implemented according to proper agent programming principles. Taking agent orientation into account, this paper describes a framework for constructing a mobile agent system in order to provide a programming model for novice mobile agent programmers. |
