本文提出了一个用于构建移动代理的新框架。该框架介绍了代理层次结构和代理间迁移的概念，因此允许将一组移动试剂动态组装成单个移动代理。它提供了一种强大的方法来构建分布式应用程序，特别是大规模移动应用程序。为了演示如何利用我们的框架，我们基于框架构建了可扩展和便携式移动代理系统。该系统是作为移动代理集合实现的，因此可以通过迁移提供功能的代理来动态地改变和发展其功能。此外，在系统上运行的基于移动代理的应用程序自然可以继承系统的可扩展性和适应性。
This paper presents a new framework for constructing mobile agents. The framework introduces the notion of agent hierarchy and inter-agent migration and thus allows a group of mobile agents to be dynamically assembled into a single mobile agent. It provides a powerful method to construct a distributed application, in particular a large-scale mobile application. To demonstrate how to exploit our framework, we construct an extensible and portable mobile agent system based on the framework. The system is implemented as a collection of mobile agents and thus can dynamically change and evolve its functions by migrating agents that offer the functions. Also, mobile agent-based applications running on the system can naturally inherit the extensibility and adaptability of the system.
