Dynamic Adaptation of Mobile Agents in Heterogenous Environments

Dynamic Adaptation of Mobile Agents in Heterogenous Environments
Mobile agents must be prepared to execute on different hosts and therefore in different execution environments. Even when a homogenous exenvironment is offered by abstracting the underlying heterogeneity, there are scenarios like IT-management, where mobile agents are forced to contain environment dependent implementations. The aim of this work is to equip mobile agents with a flexible capacity to adapt to a range of different environments on demand. We discuss different forms of adaptation and draw a distinction between static and continuous forms. Our solution for dynamic adaptation provides a concept for exchanging environment dependent implementation of mobile agents during runtime. Dynamic adaptation enhances efficency of mobile code in terms of bandwidth and scalability.
