在基于移动代理的应用中,相关的协作机制扮演着一个非常重要的作用,但当前的各种协作模型并不能很好的满足移动代理对协作的要求.本文提出了一种基于角色的协作思想,其核心就是将协作功能从移动代理的实现中分离出去,然后详细介绍了利用这种思想所实现的一个协作模型:RBRS,最后通过一个应用实例表明,这种功能的分离不但简化了代理的设计和实现,而且提高了整个系统可扩充性.

Coordination plays a very important role in mobile agent-based applications.Unfortunately,current coordination models can't finely meet the coordination need of mobile agents.In this paper,role-based coordination thinking is introduced,in which the key thinking is the separation of coordination function from the implementation of mobile agent.Then a coordination model using this thinking-RBRS-is given in detail,which indicates that this kind of separation not only simplifies the design and implementation of mobile agent,but also improves the scalability of whole mobile agent system.
