A multi-paradigm approach for mobile agents development

Mobile agent systems have received important attention in the last years as a new programming paradigm for widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. In this article, a multi-paradigm approach for the development of intelligent mobile agents is presented. It integrates both object-oriented and logic paradigms. The rationale for this approach comes from the fact that although the object-oriented programming paradigm has relevant features for mobile agent development it presents deficiencies dealing with agents mental attitudes. These deficiencies are solved by the use of logic programming. Facultad de Informática
