MADSS: a multi-agent based distributed scripting system

One important advantage of software integration constructing a project without platform and machine boundaries. In this study, we propose a scripting mechanism to integrate UNIX tools and other software under non-UNIX systems into a new system. Based on our scripting mechanism, we assumed UNIX experts as the system users. A UNIX expert would be adaptive on this study, because the scripting language extended from a UNIX shell. In order to demonstrate this study, we then propose a multi-agent distributed scripting system (MADSS). MADSS provides a fast and a convenient way for a UNIX expert to combine the heterogeneous software distributed on a network environment. A multi-agent system was employed to be an operational environment of this study. The agents in our system could perform the distributed scripts written by UNIX users through several proposed control flows, for examples parallel, circular trip, and forth_and_back.
