- Abstract
Recently, several distributed application have been proposed. However,
the performance is not always good. This is because the configuration
of the components is fixed, whereas obtaining a suitable requires a
flexible response to several factors. So, in this paper, we propose an
agent framework for a dynamically distributed application which
consists of many mobile agents. The agents change their configuration
dynamically using migration to improve thew performance of the
application. To support these activities, the framework provides
agents with many services, which enable them to communicate with other
agents semalessly even during migration over the network. We also
implemented the agent framework and a prototype application.
