Abstract:
Abstract— Today, mobile devices are used as personal objects, which contain own data about our activities, our personal life, etc. Also, these data are essential for the user and it is not acceptable to exchange these data on the network. Then, computing on these data can be done by importing applications. We present our work about moving applications from server to client host. We use mobile agent technology with the difficulties of heterogeneous platforms. Importing agent has to respect features of the device (version, technical interface, business interface, etc.). A first negotiation is settled to ensure that a set of useful agents are selected towards an embedded device. By the end of a scenario, features are recorded to improve negotiation algorithm for the future exchange. So, each exchanged agent is not only used for a mission but also for the next ones. We use our framework for collecting data from nomadic devices. The mobile agents bring back these data to server where they will be treated.
