  Abstract

As of now, the mobile agent technology is considered to effectively reduce the network traffic and flexibly process various requests of clients without modifying the interface of servers. Since most mobile agent systems have adopted their own architecture, implemented in different ways, mobile agents created in a mobile agent system are not useful in other mobile agent systems. To solve the problem, the OMG (Object Management Group, Inc) proposed the MAF (Mobile Agent Facilities) specification suggesting a common conceptual model of mobile agents and mobile agent systems for the interoperability between heterogeneous mobile agent systems. In this paper, we describe a mobile agent system named SMART, which satisfies the OMG MAF specification, written in Java. The SMART system supports interoperability with other mobile agent systems implemented according to the MAF specification, and also provides a security mechanism based on the security model recommended by the MAF specification. In addition, to support the robustness of the agent system, the facilities of exception handling and agent persistence are provided.
