Abstract :
In the mobile agent system, a mobile agent has its life cycle, and its life state may change time after time. In order to improve the mobile agent management during its life cycle, this paper presents a mobile agent life state management model. This model keeps the records of all mobile agents life state changes occurred during its whole life cycle. This paper not only gives the agent life state log structure and its storage method, but also discussed the procedures for the log storing, searching, verifying and analyzing. Application examples show that life state management model can improve mobile agent system management evidently
