本文提出了一种用于网络管理的可重用移动代理框架，其意义在于它们独立于特定的网络或应用。该框架使移动代理可以由两个分层的组件组成，即移动代理。前者是后者在特定网络上独立于任何管理任务的载体，而后者定义了独立于任何网络在每台主机上执行的管理任务。该框架还提供了一种匹配这两个组件的机制。由于该机制是在进程代数方法上制定的，因此它可以准确地选择合适的行程组件来执行任务希望通过网络访问的主机上的管理任务。该框架提供了一种方法，可以方便地开发和操作移动代理，以便在多个子网络之间移动，以便在它们访问的所有节点上执行它们的管理任务。文中还描述了该框架及其原型实现，并给出了一个实际应用。
This paper presents a framework for reusable mobile agents for network management in the sense that they are independent of either particular networks or applications. The framework enables a mobile agent to be composed from two layered components, which are mobile agents. The former is a carrier of the latter over particular networks independent of any management tasks and the latter defines management tasks performed at each host independently of any networks. The framework also offers a mechanism for matchmaking the two components. Since the mechanism is formulated on a process algebra approach, it can accurately select the appropriate itinerary component to perform management tasks at hosts that the tasks want to visit over networks. The framework provides a methodology for easily developing and operating mobile agents for traveling among multiple sub-networks to perform their management tasks at all of the nodes that they visit. This paper also describes the framework, its prototype implementation, and a practical application.
