“…While some approaches require the consideration of future adaptability at design time (e. g., by decomposing the functionality into a hierarchy like in PCOM [3] or by applying a serviceoriented architecture and associated policies [16]), others exploit the dynamic features of Java to exchanging executable code at run-time (e. g., for mobile agents [6]). …”

Context-aware applications adapt their behavior according to the current situation. In this paper we present a layered model to separate different tasks and concerns in designing data models for context-aware applications. The layers are discussed along the Nexus approach, which is designed to support large-scale, mobile applications by federated context models. Furthermore, related approaches are described and compared.Zusammenfassung Kontextbezogene Anwendungen adaptieren ihr Verhalten aufgrund von Situationen. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein Ebenenmodell für Datenmodelle solcher Anwendungen, das verschiedene Probleme und Aufgaben im Entwurf der Daten, der Adaptionslogik und der Verarbeitung kapselt. Die Ebenen werden anhand des Nexus-Ansatzes diskutiert, dessen Ziel es ist, mobile, kontextbezogene Anwendungen durch föderierte Kontextmodelle zu unterstützen, und mit verwandten Arbeiten verglichen.

“…the user account information. Code mobility can be defined as the movement of the executable code over the network towards the location of the needed resource for execution [5]. Mobile code technology is a natural technology for equipping the personal agent with a new capability for interacting with a newly available service.…”

Mobile agents have been widely used in distributed computing to take care of the task execution for the user. It is also suitable for mobile and pervasive computing. However, a pervasive computing environment is characterised by high diversity and dynamism, which gives rise to the requirement that a mobile agent executed in such environments has the self-configuring capability. In this paper, we study the problem, when an object providing a service enters the environment, how a mobile agent without prior knowledge about the object can interact with the service. We describe a method for the mobile agent to obtain the corresponding interaction codes and instantiate them for the interaction at runtime with minimal human involvement. We call this component-level self-configuration. Currently, no existing system renders a mobile agent with such capability. We propose a framework, which consists of a unified model for all the participating objects and mechanisms for a mobile agent to dynamically obtain interaction code and self-configuring it for execution. A prototype platform has been implemented and a preliminary performance study has also been carried out. Our experimental results show that the overhead caused by the component-level self-configuration is acceptable.

“…Adaptability refers to the ability of a piece of software to satisfy requirements corresponding to the context in which it is used [2]. Adapting an agent leads to change one or more of its components.…”

Mobile agents must be prepared to execute on different hosts where, according to specific environmental conditions, they will adopt different behaviors.The aim of this paper is to describe how a mobile agent equipped with a flexible capacity, can adapt its execution with the request and security found (in a visited environment). Based on its security, The agent becomes able to adapt itself to the environment where it is currently running, by composing only appropriate modules. This allows enhancement of the privacy of the agent code.
