Using a Properties Based Naming System in Mobile Agents Environments for Pervasive Computing

— Mobile Agents model is widely accepted as a good solution to simplify the coordination in a complex and distributed environment. Pervasive computing, presents many issues regarding resources discovery and heterogeneous routing on different network topologies. This paper is concerned about the architecture of a dynamic name properties based system able to manage Agents and places without a network dependent architecture. This approach allows managing places and user profiling, directly at naming level. Different migration patterns can be performed by the agents just working on attributes matching. The mobile agents framework will solve the dynamic binding between properties and resources.
