This paper is devoted to mobile agents and their use for E-learning resource management. We provide a brief overview and an elaborate case study. The overview introduces the concept of mobile agent, enumerates the claimed benefits, and discusses the state of the art of application in this domain. In the case study, we use mobile agents with Learning Object Metadata and Right Expression Language description information to achieve a whole resource management process. The process shows how the prototype we have made works. We also contrast the performance to the client/server paradigm, which we have built for comparison purposes. At last, we conclude with a summary, lessons learned, and items for future work.

“…There are many mobile agent platforms currently existing, such as Aglets from IBM, Voyager from Recursion Software, Jumping Beans from Jumping Beans Inc., and so on [5]. It is an appropriate approach to deploy mobile agents in mobile ad hoc network and WMN, because they share the nature of "mobility".…”

In wireless mesh network (WMN), it is important to provide an efficient handoff scheme, due to the frequent user mobility. To address this issue, we propose a mobile agent (MA) based handoff approach, where each mesh client has a MA residing on its registered mesh router. To guarantee quality of service (QoS) and achieve differentiated priorities during the handoff, we develop a proportional threshold structured optimal effective bandwidth policy for call admission control (CAC) on the mesh router. Simulation study shows that our proposed CAC scheme can obtain satisfying tradeoff between differentiated priorities and statistical effective bandwidth in WMN handoff environment.

“…Several platforms exist that provides operating environments for mobile agents such as Aglets, Agent Tcl, Knowbots, Telescript, Voyager, Mole, Tacoma, Grasshopper, James, Swarm and others [1], [2], [13]. Moreover, they have applications in several areas such as e-commerce and m-commerce, network monitoring and management, distributed information retrieval, telecommunications, remote device control and configuration, Internet computing, etc [2], [5], [8], [19], [20], [22].…”

Abstract:Mobile agents have engrossed substantial attention in recent years, especially in fault tolerance researches and several approaches have emerged. Fault tolerance design tends to put a stop to incomplete or complete loss of the agent in the face of failures. Despite these developments, reliability issues still remain a critical challenge. Moreover, there is no comprehensive detail bringing together, summaries of the existing efforts of researches in order to focus attention where it is needed most. Therefore, our objective in this systematic literature review (SR) is to explore and analyze the existing fault tolerance implementations in order to bring about the state-of-the-art and the challenges in mobile agent's fault tolerance approaches. We used studies from a number of relevant article sources, and our results showed the existence of twenty six articles. Our analysis indicates that the existing approaches are not generic and each focuses on a specific aspect of the problem, usually in one or two specific fault models which impacts on agent's reliability. The implication of the study is to give a clear direction to future researchers in this area for a better reliable and transparent fault tolerance in mobile agents.
