Agent-based configuration management of distributed applications
J. Berghoff, Oswald Drobnik, Anselm Lingnau, Christian Mönch · 2002
Mobile agents provide a new paradigm for distributed computation. Their unique properties appear well suited to the configuration management of large and complex distributed applications. After outlining our concept of configuration management, we describe a basic agent infrastructure and its extensions for configuration management of distributed applications. Then we consider aspects of concurrent agents and discuss the advantages of the agent based approach through an example.
