Modern distributed file system realizations offer only partially resource location transparency, resource location independence, fault tolerance, load balancing, heterogeneity, self-configuration, and simplified user access. Traditional portability techniques developed in these systems become unsuited in highly dynamic environments. To solve these problems within a homogeneous framework we studied and experimented the use of static and mobile agents in a portable environment. In this paper we describe the philosophy, the structure, and the prototype realization of the Agent-based Distributed File System (ADFS). The main properties of this innovative distributed file system are resource location transparency, resource location independence, self-configuration, and heterogeneity of the underlying hardware and operating system architectures.
