Abstract

Emerging technologies, such as multimedia and mobile computing, require that middleware platforms can support high adaptability in order to provide more flexible services in heterogeneous environments. To support high quality of service in distributed wired/wireless environments, it will be necessary for applications and middleware to be aware of changes in users requirements as well as environmental conditions, also to be able to adapt their behaviour as such changes. According to the needs of adaptability supporting in middleware, we structure a component-based, mobile agents framework in base level and meta level by using reflection. We propose concepts of meta agents and meta-service agents that are able to reflect changes made by mobile agents to the system. At the meta level of our framework, meta agents monitor execution of mobile agents and it is possible to provide dynamic adaptation of users requirements, deployment of application services and service customization with meta agents and meta-service agents.
