Abstract

Mobile agent technology is a new paradigm for parallel application. Because of the mobility, autonomy, and intelligence of mobile agent, we design a grid system based on it. Because Tagent is Java-based agent system that supports strong mobility and MASIF standard, we utilize it as underlying architecture for our system that is referred to strong-mobile agent-based grid (SMAGrid). SMAGrid has a flexible structure and management mechanism that is suited for dynamic heterogeneous environments in WAN. In addition, SMAGrid is extensible and can provide user with safe and high-performance parallel application development environment. And it reduces developer´s burden with an agent kernel library which are Java objects capable of performing the various tasks and task assignment and scheduling algorithms.
