Project Objectives

2.1 Objectives of the project

· To make a framework for mobile agents which would allow agents to move from node to node and execute at each node

· To incorporate security features so that agent activities are securely conducted

· To make the framework fully customizable so that a user can create his/her own agents as easily as creating applets and still use the facilities provided by the agent framework

· To study existing architectures for distributed systems and investigate the possibility of how an agent-based system can solve some of the inherent problems suffered by existing systems.

· To create a sample application that uses some of the features provided by the agent framework to do something useful.
