Evaluation and Research of Strong Migration of Mobile Agent for Exploiting Type Inference

Abstract

Strong migration of mobile agents is a study hotspot of the mobile agent system, which plays a basic and important role in studying and applying the technology of mobile agents. In this paper, we mainly focus on the technique for strong migration of mobile agent, and propose an approach to capture and reestablish the agent runtime state. This is achieved thanks to the use of type inference technique. We introduce the type-inference technique and describe the design and implementation details of agent strong migration prototype. We report on experiments conducted with our prototype, present a comparative performance evaluation of the main strong migration techniques
