Abstract

Mobile agent technologies are becoming popular as an efficient way to access network resources. Because an application using mobile agents has some unique problems caused by frequent creation, migration and disappearance of mobile agents, a mobile agent platform has to provide not only agents and their execution engines but some functions and mechanisms which are specialized to mobile agent systems. We discuss the practical problems occurring in mobile agent environments, that is, agent controllability, resource restrictions and security. To solve these problems, we propose a mobile agent platform, called SFM (Secured Floating Market) model. This model fulfils the agent controllability by agent control parameters and has the measures against the resource restrictions such as location of resources and agents, processing capability and condition of load. Besides, this model guarantees some suitable security strength levels for flexible execution of various services and user requirements. We implement the prototype of this model using Aglets.

针对资源限制和安全性增强的移动代理服务模型

移动代理技术作为一种访问网络资源的有效方式正日益流行。由于移动代理的频繁创建、迁移和消失会给应用程序带来一些独特的问题，因此移动代理平台不仅需要提供代理及其执行引擎，还需要提供一些移动代理系统特有的功能和机制。我们讨论了在移动代理环境中出现的实际问题，即代理的可控性、资源限制和安全性。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一个移动代理平台，称为SFM (Secured Floating Market)模型。该模型通过智能体控制参数来实现智能体的可控性，并对资源和智能体的位置、处理能力和负载条件等资源限制采取措施。此外，该模型还保证了一些合适的安全强度级别，以灵活执行各种业务和用户需求。我们使用Aglets实现了该模型的原型。
