Abstract
This paper presents a research about the technology of mobile agents which has Concordia system as its platform. Concordia was developed by Mitsubishi Eletric Information Technology Center America. In the latest years, the Internet became the main media to access information, data and personal communication. As a result, the overload of information in the bandwidth has become inevitable. Because of the continuous increase of the server connected to the network, the present architecture “client/server” used to connect the computers has become inefficient, therefore relevant changes have been necessary. The development of the technology of mobile agents is considered an alternative solution, in which programs (agents) can move throughout the network to run in different computers. The Concordia’s components were written completely in Java, and because of that, Concordia offers the portability and execution of its agents anywhere and at anytime with security, mobility, management and monitoring — all of the necessary characteristics to achieve the perfect environment for the mobile agents. This research was based on the project “A CORBA Distributed Platform with Intelligent Mobile Agents for Service Management (AMI)” of the program “High Speed Metropolitan Network of Fortaleza (REMAV-FOR”). In LARCES/UECE we developed a methodology for PVC configuration using mobile agent, presented in the final part of this work.
