Other Systems

Telescript

This Mobile Agent developed by General Magic was the first commercial written system. It uses Telescript, an interpreted language similar to Java. Much of the experience with Telescript [JEW96] were used for writing the MASIF (see next chapter) standard.

d'Agents

d'Agents [DAGENTS] is the successor of Agent TCL which was developed by the Dartmouth University. Agent TCL was based on TCL/TK, but was improved to a language independent system, d'Agents. d'Agents has a language independent core with a well designed API for plugging the different languages (Java, Scheme, and C/C++) into.

Ara

Ara (Agents for Remote Actions) [ARA] is, like d'Agents, a language independent Mobile Agent. It was developed at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. It supports TCL, C and Java. All Agents are able to travel while preserving their current state of execution (stack).
