  • Mobile agentsStudent: Thomas Rietzler (00224952),BSc (Hons) Computing.Supervisor: Bill Buchanan.Second maker: Jim Jackson.School of Computing, Napier University.8th of May, 2002.

  • Project aimsTest the Tracy mobile agent system.Create an application under the Tracy environment which:Distributes dataCollects dataFilters data

  • Design of the application The application mainly consists in:A gateway agent that interfaces with the end-user.A gateway agent to bridge the mobile agent system to databases.2 mobiles agents, doing the same job but in a different way.

  • ImplementationConfiguration of Tracy.Database connection: JDBC drivers, ODBC compliant databases.SQL queries to filter data.Borland containers to store data.Development of the agents, in Java:2 gateway agents as host interfaces and data processing.2 mobile agents, with different strategies.Test of the application and performance of mobile agents created.

  • ConclusionsAdvantages of mobile agent technology over traditional high level networking techniques.Application distributes, collects and filters data from databases over a heterogeneous distributed system.Application could be used as an API.
