Abstract

Mobile agent structuring is an increasingly practiced branch of distributed computing softwareengineering. In this paper we discuss the major issues encountered in producing real-time (RT) agents which are designed to perform output actions in manners meeting specified timing requirements. An approach to structuring of RT agents which is an extension of a high-levelreal-time distributed object programming approach called the Time-triggered Message-triggered Object (TMO) programming scheme, is also presented. The TMO based approach is promising because it provides a sound framework in which timeliness issues can be resolved in cost-effective manners.
