Combine concept of agent and service to build distributed object-oriented system

摘要

This paper presents a Java-based agent-oriented and service-oriented environment, which combines the concept of services and agents to build distributed object-oriented system. Mobile agents are often subject to strong security restrictions, they should find services that help complete their tasks. Services are wrapped by service interface agents. This paper mainly describes how mobile agents locate specific service interface agent by submitting requests to the service server with descriptions of required services in the network, and how service interface agents dynamically register their services in service server. Finally, some conclusions are given.
