Jianmin Zhao, Xinzhong Zhu, Huiying Xu, Xinpeng Zhuang · 2006
Mobile agent technology can be used as one of the key technologies for new componentware frameworks. Communication mechanism of mobile agent plays a very important role in mobile agent systems. Communication mechanism could satisfy some requirements, such as location-transparency, reliability and high-efficiency. This paper introduces the current various communication algorithms and mechanisms for mobile agent, and summarizes their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a new communication mechanism for mobile agent with the conception of virtual agent is put forward in this paper. This communication mechanism could implement the synchronism of communication and migration to a great extent, which could greatly improve the communication efficiency and reliability of the whole net
