6. Future Work
Here are some points that have to be investigated or added to the system
in the future:
-
Runtime system layer
-
debugging of the persistency code in the agent storage
-
fault-tolerance of the storage via replication
-
garbage collection of storage tables
-
sending of the whole class file together with an agent when it migrates
-
dynamic extensibility of the set of agent types
-
investigation of formal agent descriptions
-
more elaborate security system
-
Agents layer
-
addition of hierarchical caching (world and community agents)
-
new (parallel) search strategies
-
Application layer
-
more elaborate visualization tools
-
