Agent Migration

The mobile agent research has become a hot topic. It is an agent’s fundamental functionality to effectively exchange information with others. In a Mobile Agent System (MAS), the location transparency is critical for inter-agent communications. This paper presented a location-transparent communication model by describing the process of agent migration, inter-agent communication and message delivery. To wrap up the discussion, the author suggested the direction of related future research work.

The paper aims at the security issues of the mobile agent system to propose a mobile agent system based on tracking mechanism which has a third-party certification center similar to an authority sector, whose hosts and mobile agents in mobile agent system are required to be registered in the third-party certification center so as to obtain a digital certificate issued by the third-party certification center. Each server launching mobile agent has a static communication agent Tracker, responsible for maintaining the context information launched by the mobile agent and agent migration thereby solving problems in the labyrinth and authentication of mobile agent in traditional mobile agent system so that the existing mobile agent system can become more secure and reliable.

Agent Migration

Security modeling for agents has been one of the most challenging issues in developing practical mobile agent software systems. In the past, researchers have developed mobile agent systems with emphasis either on protecting mobile agents from malicious hosts or protecting hosts from malicious agents. In this paper, we propose a security based mobile agent system architecture that provides a general solution to protecting both mobile agents and agent hosts in terms of agent communication and agent migration. We present a facilitator agent model that serves as a middleware for secure agent communication and agent migration. The facilitator agent model, as well as the mobile agent model, is based on agent-oriented G-nets — a high level Petri net formalism. To illustrate our formal modeling technique for mobile agent systems, we provide an example of agent migration to show how a design error can be detected.
