An agent-based distributed information delivery system

Abstract

When building larger network information systems, the efficient management and transmission of a large amount of information are important for several reasons. Firstly, the system will become disordered without a perfect information management strategy when faced with the tremendous amount of information resources. Secondly, it is essential for the system to transmit a large amount of information in a secure and efficient way in a wide networking environment. Furthermore, a system with excellent compatibility and extensibility will be valuable in terms of system maintenance and update. We propose a flexible distributed information delivery system, DID, which is based on software agents and CORBA. The design and implementation of the DID system are described in detail.
