MARS: A Programmable Coordination Architecture for Mobile Agents

By Giacomo Cabri, L. Leonardi, Franco Zambonelli. IEEE Internet Computing, 2000

331 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Mobile agents offer much promise, but agent mobility and Internet openness make coordination more difficult. Mobile Agent Reactive Spaces (MARS), a Linda-like coordination architecture with programming features, can handle a heterogeneous network while still allowing simple and flexible application design.
