Distributed structure of programming and computing has evolved in all facets of development and spawned a new era of distributed computing. In these structures, the isolated processing nodes have been networked to form a powerful processing and communication device. Now, they need an integrated infrastructure for communication that is capable of providing and developing strong and secure mobility features. The mobile agent technology is becoming a promising solution for widely distributed systems like the Internet. Mobile agent based infrastructure is capable of forming migratory environment efficiently using the network resources. The mobile agent is software code capable of moving closer to the required resource in contrast to systems that incorporate the mobility of non-executable code only. It is also required for various agent-oriented languages to support architectural heterogeneity and less or no dependency on the previous system once an agent is transmitted to another system in the network. This paper reviews the architectural components that exist and required for agent-based systems. It also reviews various software components of universal mobile agent system and explores some aspects of migration and intercommunication of agent-oriented approaches.

Abstract


Distributed structure of programming and computing has evolved in all facets of development and spawned a new era of distributed computing. In these structures, the isolated processing nodes have been networked to form a powerful processing and communication device. Now, they need an integrated infrastructure for communication that is capable of providing and developing strong and secure mobility features. The mobile agent technology is becoming a promising solution for widely distributed systems like the Internet. Mobile agent based infrastructure is capable of forming migratory environment efficiently using the network resources. The mobile agent is software code capable of moving closer to the required resource in contrast to systems that incorporate the mobility of non-executable code only. It is also required for various agent-oriented languages to support architectural heterogeneity and less or no dependency on the previous system once an agent is transmitted to another system in the network. This paper reviews the architectural components that exist and required for agent-based systems. It also reviews various software components of universal mobile agent system and explores some aspects of migration and intercommunication of agent-oriented approaches.
