Abstract:
The use of mobile agents has shown that agent migration is a solution for the change management. However, the use of such architecture is often quite complex, depending on the design approach. In this work, we propose to define a set of Rest (REpresentational State Transfer) interfaces for each element of our mobile agent architecture. Moreover, we have built a toolchain based on the small set of tools that allows the designer to easily update the facades of each element. Then, we apply our strategy for a validation of concept. A study is built about using mobile agents for data collection in a Rest architecture. We analyze our results and how we treat any changes in the design of our architecture.
