Abstract:
Mobile agent concept can be considered as a mediator between concepts. We use this principle for management of Web services at runtime. A set of services are placed on distinct computers, and a business process need to arrange and coordinate all the services. Mobile agents allow us to navigate on the computers to access to their local services. The role of mobile agent is not only a trigger of service, but also a transformer and a memory. A transformer because, it applies transformation onto input data and output data to adapt business interfaces. Secondly, it is also a memory because; it manages the state of the business process during its scheduling. This has an essential impact for error handling. Diagnostics are created directly by observation of location of mobile agent but also its progression into mission realization. Depending on the runtime context, computation can be restarted when resource become available. We highlight our results on poll application for training evaluation.
