Abstract
Mobile agent applications are a promising approach to cope with the ever
increasing amount of data and services available in large networks
(e.g., corporate intranets or the Internet). By using mobile agent
technology, a user no longer has to manually browse for certain data
and/or services but rather to submit a mobile personal agent that
accesses and processes information on her/his behalf (i.e., places
orders or bids in some electronic auctions, or fixes dates). These
mobile agents operate on top of a peer-to-peer network spanned by the
individual providers of data and services. However, support for the
correct concurrent and fault-tolerant execution of multiple agents
accessing shared resources is vital to agent-based information
processing. This paper addresses this problem and shows how agent-based
information processing can be enriched by dedicated transactional
semantics - despite of the lack of global control which is an inherent
characteristic of peer-to-peer environments. We introduce the AMOR
project (Agents, MObility, and tRansactions) and we show how
conventional concurrency control and recovery protocols have to be
extended and generalized such that they can be implemented in a
decentralized way and be applied in a truly distributed peer-to-peer
environment.
