Itinerant Agents for Network Management
Summary :
This paper proposes a framework for building a reusable mobile agent from two kinds of components: an itinerary component and an application-specific logic component. Both components are implemented as mobile agents. The former is a carrier of the latter over particular networks and the latter defines management tasks performed at each host independently of the network. This framework also provides a mechanism for matchmaking the two mobile agent-based components. Since the mechanism is formulated based on a process algebra approach, it can strictly select a suitable itinerary component to perform management tasks at the hosts that the tasks want to visit over the networks. A prototype implementation of this framework and its application were built on a Java-based mobile agent system. We summarize the lessons learned while formalizing and implementing the approach and we compare it to related work.
