Abstract
Mobile agent is one of the good technologies for overcoming network load and latency in distributed applications, and it may be a promising way of base technology of distributed applications because of its high adaptability for various network environments. In this paper, a mobile agent programming system, called HUMAN, is designed and implemented efficient use in various distributed applications based on mobile agents. HUMAN supports such high level utilities as file searhing, addressing by groups of nodes, storing path information, storing search information, and thus it gives us high easiness in agent-based programming. And it provides various itinerary modes and flexible reply modes for easy adaptation to given network environment. It also provides a management server for registering and active agents. Thus it can be efficiently applied for such varous distributed applications as searching distributed information, remote control, and file sharing in networks. A simple electronic commerce system is designed is designed and implemented as a HUMAN based illustrative application.
