In this paper, we intend to study mobile agent group communications based on the concept of mobile group. 本文基于移动组的概念,对移动Agent的组通信展开了研究。
Mobile agent group communications provide the fault-tolerant capability for Web Services and the group-based communication approach for service cooperation. 移动Agent组通信一方面可以为Web服务提供容错计算能力,另一方面也为基于移动Agent组的服务协作提供了通信支持手段。
However, the mobility of mobile agent brings lots of problems in mobile agent communications. But current researches of mobile agent communications focus on one-to-one unicast protocols and lack practical solutions for mobile agent group communications. 然而,移动Agent的移动性使得移动Agent之间的通信产生了很多问题,现有的通信方面研究仅侧重于一对一的单播通信方式,对于移动Agent的组通信的研究存在不足。

However, there are several main obstacles to apply mobile agent technology in SCM, one of which is the group communication for mobile agents. 然而,将移动Agent技术应用于服务协作中间件,仍然存在诸多难点,其中之一在于移动Agent的组通信问题尚未得到解决。
