Internet-based e-business, design pattern, mobile agent.
Most mobile agent systems in e-business to date have been created in an ad hoc fashion. Little work has explored whether design patterns could be used in this specific domain to capture common solutions to recurrent problems, or to avoid the invention and reinvention of similar strategies by different system designers. This paper suggests a group of design patterns specific to the mobile agent-mediated e-business domain. A set of global forces will be identified. Collaboration among various participants in each pattern will be sketched. The advantages and potentials of suggested patterns for agent-based system design will also be discussed.
