Abstract :
Mobile agents move around object servers to locally manipulate objects. A transactional agent is an agent which manipulates objects in one or more than one object server so as to satisfy some constraints. There are some types of constraints depending on applications like traditional atomicity. There are other constraints like at-least-one constraint where a transaction can commit if at least one object server is successfully manipulated. We discuss how transactional agents with types of constraints can commit. We discuss the way in which to implement transactional agents.
