D'Agents: Applications and performance of a mobile-agent system

摘要

D'Agents is a general-purpose mobile-agent system that has been used in several information -retrieval applications. In this paper, we first examine one such application, operational support for military field personnel, where D'Agents greatly simplifies the task of providing efficient, application-specific access to remote information resources. After describing the application, we discuss the key differences between D'Agents and most other mobile-agent systems, notably its support for strong mobility and multiple agent Languages.
