Features

• The TAgents platform was designed to be easy to extend. The basic platform can be extended with all kinds of service from database access up to the free choice of the communication protocol.
  The services are realized as System Agents or "stationary" Agents. These system agents have more access to the platform and the system they are running on (as opposed to normal agents).
  This approach lets the basic platform required to run mobile agent be very small in use of computer resources. One of the goals is to enable the use of mobile agents in mobile computing environments like PDAs or handhelds. These platforms can win most with the use of mobile agent technology.
• Easy developement of an Agent or System Agent. The baasic agent class comes with a rich feature set and any other service can easely be accessed through the service providing mechanism.
• Secure design Agents, Services and System are seperated as much as possible with JAVA. The main security environment is still not done yet, but should provide a finegrained access mechanism to all services offered by the platform.
• Compliant to the MASIF standard of the OMG.
