Abstract:

This work explores the adaptation of mobile code during runtime. There are various aspects to adaptation. Especially mobile agents are faced with changing environments because of traveling in heterogeneous networks. The focus of this work are dynamic re-configuration, context awareness and the architecture of a repository serving exchangeable parts to the mobile code. Results from the implementation of a prototype show that dynamic adaptation can reduce programming effort for mobile code in heterogeneous environments. Furthermore it makes mobile code more efficient in terms of bandwidth and enhances its scalability.
