Operating system support for mobile agents
Dag Johansen, Robbert van Renesse, F.B. Schneider · 2002
The TACOMA project is concerned with implementing operating system support for agents, processes that migrate through a network. Two TACOMA prototypes have been completed; this paper outlines our experiences in building and using them. A mechanism for exchanging electronic cash was explored, as well as agent-based schemes for scheduling and fault-tolerance.
