Abstract :
The mobile agents model has the potential to provide a flexible framework to face the challenges of high performance computing, especially when targeted towards heterogeneous distributed architectures. We developed a framework for supporting programming and execution of mobile agent based distributed applications, the MAGDA (Mobile Agents Distributed Applications) toolset. It supplements mobile agent technology with a set of features for supporting parallel programming on a dynamic heterogeneous distributed environment.
