Abstract

Distributed computing has a lot of complex distributed control functions like mutual exclusion, data replication, load sharing, check pointing etc. The present study introduces two novel ways to address some of the issues in the first two areas---mutual exclusion and data replication with the use of mobile agent technology. This research work deals with analyzing the various advantages that Mobile Agent Technology provides and how its use can impact the design and development of distributed system. The primary focus of this study is to present a clear view of the evolutionary path that will take us from the current technology to widespread use of mobile code and agents within the next few years.
