Abstract

This paper presents the concept and implementation of "Hornet", a MASIF-compliant mobile agent system based on the CORBAScript scripting language, thus completely integrated in CORBA environment. Common problems related to standard implementations of CORBA-based distributed applications are illustrated and benefits of agent-based solutions outlined. An overview of CORBA-based mobile agent system architecture is given addressing the specific implementation issues. Two developed example applications are described, consequences of introducing mobile agents in the CORBA environment discussed and future work directions explained. We feel that introduction of tightly CORBA integrated scrip-based object mobility provides a new perspective to developers and researchers of distributed object systems.
