MASS: an XML-based mobile agent system for distributed computing

This work presents a Mobile Agent Space System (MASS), based an Java technology and the XML language to solve the problem of insufficient Internet resources such as Internet bandwidth. MASS provides users with an environment in which to access various services without having to know the workings of real processes in MASS. Furthermore an experiment that involves genetic algorithms used in distributed computing is designed to validate the concept and design of MASS. MASS was designed to support migration, communication and control of agents. The initial project goals were to support communication among migrating agents in collaborative work to control extensive resources.
