THE CoDAC COLLABORATION FRAMEWORK

摘要

The Internet has been expanding rapidly over the recent decades as are the activities conducting over the World Wide Web. The complexity of online services grows along with the increasing population online. The robustness of network applications and distributed systems can no longer be sustained by the traditional distributed programming approaches in an effective manner. For this reason, the mobile agent paradigm has emerged as a promising methodology to resolve complex distributed computation problems at high scalability. In this paper, we present a C omponentware for Distributed Agent Collaboration (CoDAC) as a solution to general agent coordination problems. CoDAC implements the component model to offer flexible and reliable coordination support to mobile agents distributed over the Internet.
