Abstract :
A transactional agent is a mobile agent that manipulates objects in one or more than one object server so as to satisfy some constraint like ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability). An agent leaves a surrogate agent on an object server on leaving the object server. A surrogate holds objects manipulated by the agent and recreates an agent if the agent is faulty. We discuss how to implement transactional agents for database servers in Aglets and evaluate access time of transactional agents compared with client-server model.
