(Mole, U of Stuttgart) Mobile Agent Platform A mobile agent platform is a distributed abstraction layer that provides the concepts and mechanisms for mobility and communication on one hand, and security of the underlying system on the other hand. Why Message Passing Mobile Agent System can be used as General-Purpose Distributed Computing Middleware Platform. Sometimes Message Passing is more efficient than migration There DO exist MA-based applications that needs remote message passing between cooperating agents. Inter-Agent Message Passing- Requirements Location Transparency Message sender does not need to know the physical location of the receiver agent, whose address changes frequently by moving from one host to another. Reliability The concurrent and asynchronous nature of message forwarding and agent migration may cause message loss or chasing problem. By reliability we mean the message can reach the target agent by a bounded number of forwarding. Inter-Agent Message Passing- Requirements Efficiency Low location updating overhead Low message delivery overhead Asynchrony Asynchronous execution Little constraint on the mobile agent mobility. Adaptability Suit different Communication and Migration Pattern Introduction: Inter-Agent Message Passing ARP: Design and Analysis Design of ARP Analysis of ARP Improvements Generalization: A Generic Framework Conclusion and Future Work Design of ARP (Adaptive and Reliable Protocol) Mobile IP solution Extention1: Mobile IP + Synchronization Extension2: Distributed Home Scheme Extension3: Mailbox-Based Scheme = ARP Mobile I
