Description: Java aglets are lightweight mobile agents that enable the autonomous execution of programs on remote heterogeneous hosts. Because Java aglets automate many of the processes users must now perform manually, this technology is poised to transform the way we interact with the Internet. Practical in focus, this book features numerous real-world examples of Java code that illustrate concepts and demonstrate Java aglets in action. Geared for Java programmers with no previous agent experience, the book presents a clear introduction to mobile agents that explains the basic conceptual model, agent behavior, the creation and disposal of agents and agent transfer over a network. The appendix provides systematic, detailed coverage of the Java aglet API and illustrates aglet anatomy, is also covered in depth.
