Abstract

Client-agent-server is a relatively new processing paradigm, in which mobile code objects ‘agents’ are utilised. In this paper we look at PVM features and try to assess its suitability to testbed client-agentserver applications, thus trying to determine if our existing PVM experience can be leveraged to this new computing field. It is hoped that this paper will be of most interest to readers already profficient in PVM, who want to be introduced to concepts and issues present in mobile-agent environments.
