Abstract
In this paper, we design the CORBA-based Mobile Agent Model (CMAM) which has the capability of the efficient work processing in distributed environment through sensing network traffic and searching the optimal path for migration nodes of mobile agent. In case existing mobile agent model is given various works from user, the network overhead and traffic are increased by increasing of execution module size. Also, if it happens a large quantity of traffics due to migration of nodes according to appointment of the passive host(below node) routing schedule by user, it needs much cost for node search time by traffic. Therefore, in this paper, we design a new mobile agent m()del that assures the reliability of agent's migration through dynamic act on the specific situation according to appointment of the active routing schedule and can minimize agent's work processing time through optimal path search. The proposed model assigns routing schedule of the migration nodes actively using an extended MAFFinder. Also, for decreasing overhead of network by agent's size, it separates the existing mobile agent object by mobile agent including only agent calling module and push agent with work executing module based on distributed object type of CORBA. Also, it reduces the required time for round works of mobile agent through the optimal path search of migration nodes.
