Abstract

Resource control, i.e., accounting and limiting the allocation of resources like CPU, memory, and threads, is necessary for distributed agent systems to prevent denial-of-service attacks. Currently, the majority of mobile agent systems is based on Java, even though resource control is a missing feature on standard Java platforms. In this article we give an overview of a new portable resource control model for Java and its integration in the J-SEAL2 mobile agent system.
