Open Source Java Object Brokering Software for Mac

Agentopia is a programming framework (API) for Java 5 mobile agents in peer-to-peer networks. Main features: Routing around firewalls, anonymity, and it is extremely easy to write new agents. No RMI, no CORBA, just plain Java bytecode loading.

Ellipsis is a modular, agent-oriented, and extendable toolkit to execute stationary and mobile software agents written in the Java programming language. Ellipsis uses the standard application server JBoss (version 4.2.3 GA) without any modifications. In contrast to existing mobile agent toolkits, Ellipsis has an agent- and message-oriented architecture. Ellipsis is built on top of the JMX architecture. Core Ellipsis components are implemented as MBeans which provides for basic ser-vices to execute agents and control their life-cycle. One of the core components is a special MBean (AgentModul) that makes it possible to load an agent powered by agent engines. Agent engines can execute one type of agent. Based on this mechanism, agents can be added dynamically to a running system, can be stopped (for example in case of an error) and restarted later. Ellipsis already comes with a predefined set of agents, offering basic services like agency, loader, holdingarea and migration.

The Secure Mobile Agents (SeMoA) platform constitutes a secure runtime environment for Java-based mobile software agents.

The goal is to build a Mobile Agents System which is flexible, easy to extend, secure and open. A Mobile Agent is able to travel from one system to another while executing.
