Abstract:
Mobile Agent system creates a new way for sharing distributed resources and providing multi-located services. With the idea of moving calculations towards resources, it occupies less network traffics than the traditional Client/Server model and achieves more flexibilities than the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) architecture. In order to endow agents with the ability of accessing remote data resources, in this paper we present the design strategies of the Database Interface between a logic programming language based Mobile Agent system and a remote DBMS.
