Abstract:
In this paper, we use mobile agents in order to synchronize real time distributed system. We present a way to exchange mobile agents from an agent server to agent hosts. Imported agents are used to apply actions in their host context. We solve security problems by a negotiation step between the host and the server. Locally, we use a specific thread to execute the imported agent. Its mission uses time vector for event synchronization. When the mission of the mobile agent is ended, it goes back to the server and waits for a future demand. We apply this strategy to implement mobile agents, which import the time of the server and synchronize the actions between both.
