基于代理的下一代网络业务平台实现技术研究

Research on the Implementation Techniques of an Agent-Based Service Provisioning Platform for NGN

灵活、开放的下一代网络业务特点对它的提供平台提出了很高的要求,使用代理技术可以简化这种大规模分布系统的设计并提高系统的运行性能。以前的研究工作中提出了基于代理的下一代网络业务框架ASPOSE。文中进一步研究了基于代理的下一代网络业务平台的实现技术,以验证代理技术在下一代网络业务提供环境中应用的可行性和优势。讨论了ASPOSE原型系统的实现技术,并介绍了在原型系统中开发的示例业务的工作原理。

Openness and flexibility are key features of Next Generation Network(NGN) services. They give rise to sophisticated requirements of the design and implementation of NGN Service platform. Claimed as a new paradigm for distributed computing, mobile agent technology has potential applications in NGN. In our previous research, an agent-based service platform, ASPOSE, has been proposed. This paper further studies the implementation techniques of the proposed service platform, so as to verify the application of agent technology in NGN service environment. Following a thorough discussion on the design and implementation of the prototype system for ASPOSE, the paper shows how a demonstration service can be deployed and executed in the prototype platform.
