....where a single mobile agent moves to the dynamically selected proxy site, and sends out child agents as needed. There are other forms of mobile code that could be used instead of mobile agents, such as remote evaluation (REV) SG90] SUPRA RPC (SUbprogram PaRAmeters in Remote Procedure Calls) Sto94] and Java servlets [Cha96] 15 Typically, systems that support these forms of mobile code allow one hop migration only. A program is sent to and executed on a target machine, but that program can not send out sub programs. Some systems do allow a program to send out sub programs, but this ....

....of REV and NCL were primarily concerned with moving computation to a remote machine and imposed this limitation to simplify implementation. SURPRA RPC (SUbprogram PaRAmeters in Remote Procedure Calls) on the other hand seeks to allow normal procedure call semantics for both local and remote calls [Sto94]. Essentially SUPRARPC extends traditional RPC with additional stubs that are invoked whenever a procedure references an out of scope variable or function. The server makes a callback to the client in order to handle the outof scope reference. SUPRA RPC implementations exist for C, C and Lisp ....

....The program chooses when and where to migrate. It can suspend its execution at an arbitrary point, transport to a new machine and resume execution on the new machine. Transportable agents were developed as the next step in the remote procedure call [BN84] remote evaluation [SG90] and SUPRA RPC [Sto94] hierarchy. Transportable agents have several advantages over these paradigms. Transportable agents consume fewer network resources since intermediate data does not need to be brought across the network and agents can communicate easily among themselves. Remote evaluation and SUPRA RPC allow ....

....cooperative systems are one of the target applications of contemporary standardizations such as OSF DCE [33] OMG CORBA [31] and DCOM [10] 1. 1 Remote Procedure Call and Distributed Shared Memory Two technologies for distributed programming have been widely used: the remote procedure call (RPC) [40, 5, 4, 16, 19, 14, 2, 36] and distributed shared memory (DSM) 28, 37, 30] There are three distinctive differences between these technologies [11] One is that the RPC inherently provides the data passing semantics, whereas DSM provides the data sharing semantics. The second is that the RPC provides distribution ....

....mechanism [BN84] Remote programming allows a client to send a subprogram to a server. The subprogram executes on the server and sends its result back to the client. Variants of remote programming include the Network Command Language (NCL) Fal87] Remote Evaluation (REV) SG90] and SUPRARPC [Sto94] Agents generalize remote programming to allow arbitrary code movement. Our system allows agent programmers to choose between a remote conversation (with RPC, message passing, or stream) or a jump followed by a local conversation. Systems such as Java [GM94] Safe Tcl [BR95] and Omniware ....

....followed by extensions to the RPC concept, which provided access to certain services in the form of procedure calls from remote locations. Work in this area has included Falcone s Network Command Language (NCL) Fal87] Stamos and Gifford s Remote Evaluation (REV) SG90] and Stoyenko s SUPRA RPC [Sto94]. Each of these systems, however, suffers from a certain inherent lack of flexibility, in that they provide only certain services to remote machines, and do not fit into the model of an intelligent agent. Finally, none of these systems is at all divorced from the client server model of remote ....

....remotely. In the prototype implementation, the remote programs are a compressed form of list structure executed by a dialect of LISP. Remote procedures must be self contained in that the only external references allowed are to procedures explicitly supported at the remote processing site. Stoyenko [Sto94] describes SUPRA RPC, an extension to RPC which allows subprograms to be passed as RPC parameters. The SUPRA RPC subprograms are allowed to access variables and procedures external to the passed subprogram. These external references are implemented by out of scope access stubs and ....
