Agent fabrication and its implementation for agent-based electronic commerce

In the last decade, agent-based e-commerce has emerged as a potential role for the next generation of e-commerce. How to create agents for e-commerce applications has become a serious consideration in this field. This paper proposes a new scheme named agent fabrication and elaborates its implementation in multi-agent systems based on the SAFER (Secure Agent Fabrication, Evolution & Roaming) architecture. First, a conceptual structure is proposed for software agents carrying out e-commerce activities. Furthermore, agent module suitcase is defined to facilitate agent fabrication. With these definitions and facilities in the SAFER architecture, the formalities of agent fabrication are elaborated. In order to enhance the security of agent-based e-commerce, an infrastructure of agent authorization and authentication is integrated in agent fabrication. Our implementation and prototype applications show that the proposed agent fabrication scheme brings forth a potential solution for creating agents in agent-based e-commerce applications

Information Retrieval Using Mobile Agent (Aglet)

This project will present 3 objective in HPS (Hand Phone System) that help user to search for hand phone detail information by: [1] Brand such as Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. [2] Version of the hand phone (model). [3] Price: User can input the price range. Instead of having to surf endlessly through the WWW (World Wide Web) and digesting huge amounts of possibly untrustworthy information, personalized mobile agents autonomously gather information about the item user want to see. Once they have found ihe destination or server (the piece ofsoftware): the agent can send the result back to the user. This project will be focusing on Information Retrieval and will be using mobile agent platform which is aglets, Java runtime, Jdkl.0.5_08, and Microsoft VisualJ++ 6.0 to design the GUI that build using Applet. This project will undergo 5stages which are; plan the hardware or software required for the project, then analyze and get the Product Requirement, next is design the process of implementing HPS System, implement the project by using mobile agent platform - aglets that involves programming activity and last is to test the product to ensure the product successfully completed and testify and fulfill the objectives of this project. The result and discussion about the system produced will highlights how the system works generally. Some other interested formula and idea from other project's discussion will also be used to further doing this project. As a conclusion, is project is aimed to create a simple HPS system using mobile agent technology and need to be improved in many aspects and that can be the recommendation for future work for expansion and continuation

A Java Simulation-Based Performance Evaluation of Mobile Agent Platforms.

Mobile agents are emerging as a promising paradigm for the design and implementations of distributed applications .Manyof these Mobile Agent platforms have been developed, new one, and new versions of old agents, kept on appearing everyyear, so choosing the right or most suitable platform for a particular application area; based on their performance is achallenge for both the developers and the users. This paper carried out a qualitative comparison across three selected, Javabased Mobile Agent System, Aglet Tracy, and JADE. Two of them (Aglets and JADE) were selected for quantitativeevaluation on their time of transfer/retrieval of compressed data files. In our implementation, Aglet version 2.02 and JADE3.4.1 were used. A java simulation program was developed and used in measuring the performance of the two mobileagents, using transmission time and compressed time as performance metrics. In this paper work, a unique portnumber(2080) was chosen for the loading of classes and mobility of agents. Ten dummy data files (also refer to as Load orMessage) were created with sizes ranges from 100Kb to 1 Mb. A gzip compression tool was used to compress each of thesefiles and sent through the Aglet and JADE enabled network. The transmission time (in milliseconds) for each correspondingfiles size (in Bytes) in the two Mobile agents were recorded. We deduced from our qualitative results that, Tracy plug-infeatures give users room for reusability and extension. Aglets provide weak security and poorly scalable. JADE has astrong security, scalable and its multi agent feature will enrich its usage on the internet. Our quantitative results show thattransferring/retrieving of compressed data file is faster in JADE than in Aglets. The integrity of the files are also kept safe, inboth mobile agents, that is after decompressions they can still be reused.Keywords: Aglet, Gzip, JADE, Compression ratio, Mobile Agent Networ

MAGDA: A Mobile Agent based Grid Architecture

Mobile agents mean both a technology and a programming paradigm. They allow for a flexible approach which can alleviate a number of issues present in distributed and Grid-based systems, by means of features such as migration, cloning, messaging and other provided mechanisms. In this paper we describe an architecture (MAGDA – Mobile Agent based Grid Architecture) we have designed and we are currently developing to support programming and execution of mobile agent based application upon Grid systems

PERANCANGAN DAN PEMBUATAN PERANGKAT LUNAK BERBASIS MOBILE AGENT UNTUK PENCARIAN BUKU

The development of information technology and today's growing very fast. Client-server technology is already very familiar with programming concepts. A new concept called the mobile agent has been found and is expected to replace the concept of client-server. The concept of Mobile Agent is a concept where the program code is called an agent can move from one computer to another to perform tasks assigned to him. Mobile Agents are often used to collect data, information or process transactions on the Internet. Based on the concept is then carried out research that purpose to implement technology on a Mobile Agent software with a case study of a software used to search a book on multiple database servers so that users do not need to visit web store one by one. In this study used Aglet 2.0.2 as the software for development applications. For the design of client web server interface using PHP and HTML language. The research was applied to a web URL address localhost with local and two servers where each server contained a database of books. To see the process of transfer agent can be seen in Tahiti server logs information both on the client side or server. Based on the results of testing that has been done the conclusion that this application could be implemented by the method of Mobile Agents. Mobile Agents are used consists of three pieces of AgentOne, AgentTwo, and AgentThree which has the task and its own function. Proof of transfer agent can be seen in Tahiti server log information from the client and server. Keywords : Agent, Mobile Agent, Aglets, Book Searchin
