Abstract

The Mobile Agent Facility (MAF) is a standard for a CORBA facility published by the Object Management Group (OMG). This standard provides interoperability between agent platforms from several vendors. We describe an appropriate implementation architecture to develop an MAF compliant mobile agent system, and present a mobile agent system named SMART; which satisfies the OMG MAF specification, written in Java. The SMART system supports interoperability with other mobile agent systems implemented according to the MAF specification, and also provides a security mechanism based on the security model recommended by the MAF specification. In addition, the SMART system introduces a distinguished resource access policy based on the access level of an agent which is classified as several abstract entities such as admin, user, and gypsy
