• Adding mobility to non-mobile web robots 

      Sudmann, Nils P.; Johansen, Dag (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2000)
      In this paper we will show that it is possible to combine mobile agent technology with existing non-mobile data mining applications. The motivation for this is the advantage mobile agents offer in moving the computation closer to the data in a distributed system. This can save bandwidth and increase performance when the data is condensed as a result of data mining.
    • Building agent applications using wrappers 

      Sudmann, Nils P.; Johansen, Dag (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2001-01-11)
      For the past seven years, the TACOMA project has investigated software support for mobile agents. Several prototypes have been developed, with experiences in distributed applications directing the effort. This paper presents a new mechanism that supports implementing agent applications by creating troops of agents using wrappers. This solution requires little extra support from the agent system, and ...
