A NEW MOBILE AGENT-BASED MIDDLEWARE: DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION

摘要

Middleware is essential to migrating mainframe applications to client/server applications and to providing for communication across heterogeneous platforms. Communication between the client and server is always the emphases of research of middleware. So far, the primary mechanism of it is still RPC and OORPC. This paper presents the design, the implementation, and the evaluation of a novel mobile agent-based middleware. Our architecture use mobile agent to replace RPC and OORPC to resolve the disadvantage of traditional middleware.
