MODELLING MOBILE AGENT APPLICATIONS BY EXTENDED UML ACTIVITY DIAGRAM

Miao Kang, Kenji Taguchi

2004

Abstract

Mobile agent technology has gained increasing importance in recent years. However, little work has been done in defining notations/languages to capture and model mobile agent applications. This paper presents extensions of UML activity diagrams for modelling mobile agent applications, which capture specific features of mobile agents such as mobility, cloning and communications.
