Abstract

The proposed mobile agent architecture for carrying out incremental consistency checks between sets of distributed software engineering documents is described and evaluated. Functionality of architectural components and collaboration between them throughout the consistency check are described. Architecture simulation, based on concurrent "execution" of state chart models of components, is used for evaluation of scalability in a number of system configurations. This work represents the first part of a thesis, which aims to establish applicability of mobile agent technology to the domain of distributed consistency management.
