MOLE: A mobile agent system

Abstract: Due to its salient properties, mobile agent technology has received rapidly growing attention over the last few years. Many developments ofmobile agent systems are under way in both academic and industrial environments. MOLE is one of the first mobile agent systems that has been developed in the Java language; the first version came out in 1995. Since then MOLE has been constantly improved, and provides a stable environment for development and usage of mobile agents in the area of distributed applications. Fur… Show more

“…This technique is handy for programmers who want full transparency, but it incurs more cost on the system. In weak migration, the data state of an agent is transferred, and the programmer can control its size [11].The developer is also responsible for coding the execution state in program variables. The programmer needs to provide a start method that decides where to continue the execution of migration.…”

“…The multi-actor organization of an agent in AgentLab facilitates movement since the agent follows a weak migration model [11], where the single thread of the control machine (engaged in the basic message control loop) requires its state (message queue) to be frozen before moving. Actor states are automatically saved.…”

“…While many have touted the advantages of mobile agents and numerous mobile agent systems have been developed [3,10,12,18,19], they have yet to become a ubiquitous element of distributed systems. The reasons cited for this are many.…”

“…But still some object that the resulting mobile agents will be too complex to realize the possible savings. While there has been some experimental work that attempts to verify that such savings exist [3][4][5], it is our contention that at least in part what is needed is an algorithmic model in which one can prove that a mobile agent solution achieves given complexity bounds and can thus provably provide the claimed efficiencies.…”
