基于区域路径代理的Mobile Agent定位方法

由于Mobile Agent本身固有的移动性，必须定位派发出去的Agent，以便和它通信。通常的定位方法分为三大类：位置数据库、路径代理、目录服务。文中在对已有的定位方法进行分析后，对传统的路径方法进行了改进、提出了一个基于区域路径代理的定位方法，并将该方法和传统的路径代理方法进行了比较。对于区域性活动较多的Agent，通过使用该方法可以有效地缩短路径代理链的长度，大大提高了定位操作的效率，减少定位操作失败的概率。

A Mobile Agent Locating Approach Based on Region Path Proxies

Due to the inherent mobility of Mobile Agent,it is important to locate agent dispatched to the net to communicate with.There are three types of location methods:location database,path proxies,directory services.After analyzed existing Mobile Agent location approach,the paper proposed a Mobile Agent locating approach based on region path proxies.And compare it with the traditional path proxies approach.The length of the path proxies can be shorten, the efficiency of location can be improved,and the failure of location Mobile Agent can be decreased by using this approach.
