Abstract :
Mobile agent is a new computing model that is more suitable for current distributed computing environment. In a mobile agent system, an agent needs to exchange some information with other agents continuously. During this process two problems have to be solved. The first is the agent location tracking, which is how to inform the current location of an agent to other agents. The second is the message storage and transfer, which is how to handle the information that is sent to an agent. To solve the two problems, a message communication mechanism between mobile agents based on message proxy is proposed, which combines with mobile agent location tracking mechanism and realizes the location transparent agent communication in a mobile agent system.
