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.
