基于移动Agent技术的虚拟企业协调机制

虚拟企业由于需要具备对市场机遇的快速反应能力以及企业间的协作能力,必然需要与信息技术紧密联合,同时对系统架构的柔性和可扩展性提出了很高的要求。提出了一种基于移动Agent技术的虚拟企业协调机制,并通过基于XML的工作流技术保证了业务流程的灵活性和可扩展性,给出了使用Java反射机制的工作流引擎的实现机制。并进一步通过结盟、变更移动A-gent和监控移动Agent的具体实现,介绍了该机制下工作流的应用以及在Aglet移动开发环境下主从模式的开发。

Coordination mechanisms of virtual enterprise based on mobile Agent technology

Virtual enterprises highly depend on information technologies in order to react rapidly to markets and to cooperate among partners.The flexibility and expansibility of the information system architecture are required at a high-level.This paper puts forward a new coordination mechanism for virtual enterprises based on mobile Agent technology,whose flexibility and expansibility of business process is realized through work flow technique based on XML.The realization mechanism, of the work flow engine which adopts Java reflection is presented.Through the realization of allying,changing and supervising mobile Agent,the application of work flow under the proposed mechanism is illustrated.The development of master-slave pattern under Aglet is also introduced.
