Agent Migration as an Optional Service in an Extendable Agent Toolkit Architecture

Using mobile agents for temporary disconnection from wireless network

“…This protocol is called SATP (Simple Agent Transport Protocol). Kalong even allows the use of different strategies for agent migration [6,7].…”

Achieving Mobile Agent Systems interoperability through software layering

“…For this reason, the GMAS approach is classified between the low-level and the high-level approaches. In [7,5] the authors propose a mobility service, named Kalong, which was designed to be independent of any existing agent toolkit and only requires that mobile agent classes implement the Java Serializable interface. Kalong was integrated into Tracy [5] and, currently, also into JADE [7].…”

“…In [7,5] the authors propose a mobility service, named Kalong, which was designed to be independent of any existing agent toolkit and only requires that mobile agent classes implement the Java Serializable interface. Kalong was integrated into Tracy [5] and, currently, also into JADE [7]. In particular, the integration of Kalong as a new mobility service into JADE was straightforward without requiring any changes to Kalong or JADE.…”

“…The definition of a universal agent, able to run on any MAS, and the creation of a generic interface (also known as the middleware approach) are research efforts belonging to this class. The former has been exploited in [26], whereas the latter in [16,23,15,7,5].…”

Increasing the Migration E.ciency of Java-based Mobile Agents

“…We have implemented a new mobility model, Kalong [3], which is available as a software component independent from any specific toolkit. We have already successfully integrated Kalong into the Tracy [2,3] and the Jade [4] toolkit. The Kalong mobility model can be seen as a virtual machine for agent migration, for it provides a basic set of commands to conduct the complete migration process.…”
