Abstract
A new logic-based mobile agent framework named Maglog is proposed in this paper. In Maglog, a concept called “field” is introduced. By using this concept, the following functions are realized: 1) the agent migration which is the function that enables agents to migrate between computers, 2) the inter-agent communication which is the indirect communication with other agents through the field, 3) the adaptation which is the function that enables agents to execute programs stored in the field. We have implemented Maglog on Java environment. The program of an agent which is a set of Prolog clauses is translated into Java source code with our Maglog translator, and then it is compiled into Java classes with a Java compiler. In addition, through XML-RPC interface for Maglog which we have also implemented, other systems can easily utilize Maglog. The effectiveness of Maglog is confirmed through the demonstration of an application: the distributed e-Lerning system.
