移动agent系统互用性的研究

在多样化的、开放的、分布式环境下的MAS中,agent必须与非同构的agent进行互动,遍历不同的agent平台以获取远程的资源,于是,互用性成了MAS的关键性能。目前提出的解决互用性的方法都缺少必要的柔韧性来提供足够程度的互用性。提出了一种高层方法,该方法基于已明确定义的软件层概念,可以实现MAS之间执行、通信和移植的互用性,解决目前解决方案存在的缺陷,而且安全性保持在MAS相应机制的可控范围。

Research on the Interoperability of MAS

Interoperability is a key issue for mobile agent systems（MASs） in heterogeneous and open distributed environments where agents must interact with non-homogeneous agents and traverse different agent platforms to access remote resources.To date,while several approaches have been proposed to deal with different aspects of MAS interoperability,they all lack the necessary flexibility to provide an adequate degree of interoperability among the currently available MASs.In this paper,we propose a high-level approach grounded in the software layering concept,which enables execution,migration and communication interoperability between Java-based mobile agent systems.This approach overcomes the shortcomings of the available solutions.Moreover security remains under the control of specific mechanisms of the MASs which are made interoperable.
