Product Description

Product Description
The next huge wave of Internet development, Java Aglets are lightweight mobile agents that enable the autonomous execution of programs on remote heterogeneous hosts. Because Java aglets automate many of the processes users must now perform manually, the technology is poised to transform the way many users interact with the Internet. Written by the creators of the technology, this book gives you the knowledge and skills you need to create Java aglets using IBM's Aglets Software Development Kit. Practical in focus, the book features numerous real-world examples of Java code that illustrate concepts and demonstrate Java aglets in action. Geared for Java programmers with no previous agent experience, the book presents a clear introduction to mobile agents that explains the basic conceptual model, agent behavior, the creation and disposal of agents, and agent transfer over a network. The appendix provides systematic, detailed coverage of the Java Aglet API describes and illustrates aglet anatomy, context, messaging, and collaboration.Moving beyond these basics, the book also presents advanced topics, such as design patterns for creating mobile agent applications, and provides a deeper look inside the Aglets framework to help you optimize the performance of your aglets. Aglet security, a topic of critical importance for this mobile technology, is covered in depth. 0201325829B04062001

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro book to agents, 22 Nov 1998
By A Customer

The book is an excellent read. When I started the book, I knew every little about Agents. By the time, I was done I knew much more. The writing is extremely clear, interesting and understandable. Unlike many of the Agent fanatics, Lange and Oshima carefully explain the problems with Agent technology as it stands today.</p>

All of this translates into a book that is useful to read even if you do not care about the Aglet technology. It is a good book for anyone who wants to understand the state of the art of Agents and see how one particular Agent implementation works.</p>

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful., 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
The content covered in this book is both extremely useful and well written. The basics of mobile agents and why you would want to use them, the security issues involved and the fundamental issues facing someone wishing to implement their own system using Aglets are all examined. The code examples are all easy to follow, gradually grow more complex and demonstrate the power of the Aglets package. The latter part of the book covers more advanced topics such as design patterns found in mobile agent based applications and an in depth look at the Aglet Framework, the underlying structure behind the programmers Aglet API.

If you are currently, or are thinking, about doing anything with aglets then this book is a MUST read. Even battle hardened agleteers can learn the best way to build and optimise their aglets.

If you simple want to find out more about mobile agents and see them working within a successful framework then this book is also for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best documentation around for Aglet based programming, 20 Oct 1998
By A Customer
this is probably the only documentation there is for aglets. compared to a number of other mobile agent toolkits -- such as voyager (from objectspace) -- aglets is free- and has an active following. The book is well written, and each chapter is concluded with an example. there is a seperate chapter on design patterns, which are now bundled with the aglets workbench.

dont be fooled by the thinness of the book -- it contains quite a lot of useful documentation. this book is not intended for people wishing to browse about agent work, or people not familiar with agents or java. this deals with particular aspects of aglets -- and does not deal with detailed programming in java.

i would have liked some more worked examples in the book -- though overall -- i think the book is good.
