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

2 Project aims Test the Tracy mobile agent system. Test the Tracy mobile agent system. Create an application under the Tracy environment which: Create an application under the Tracy environment which: –Distributes data –Collects data –Filters data

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

4 Implementation Configuration of Tracy. Configuration of Tracy. Database connection: Database connection: –JDBC drivers, ODBC compliant databases. –SQL queries to filter data. –Borland containers to store data. Development of the agents, in Java: 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. Test of the application and performance of mobile agents created.

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