Abstract

The pervasiveness of Internet-based communication technologies is fostering new forms of distributed computing, namely, large-scale, highly decentralized computing and mobile computing. In this context, new application domains such as M-commerce, mobile multimedia, and cooperative information systems, demand for adaptive and flexible middlewares and frameworks which fully exploit logical mobility and support programmable coordination infrastructures. In this paper, we present a distributed computational model which extends an active object model by introducing the mobile active object concept in order to support a multi paradigm design approach. Mobile active objects are autonomous network-aware entities or mobile agents which coordinate to one another through on-demand installable interaction spaces featured by events. The model is embedded in ActiWare - our customizable Javabased framework for the development of highly dynamic distributed applications.
