Mobile Agent Modelling Notation

Abstract

Mobile Agent Modelling Notation (MAMN) is a modelling language, designed for distributed execution environment. MAMN uses the idea of ambients, which allows an executable environment to move around over networks. Processes or agents can be carried to particular places and continue their tasks. Thus the mobile computing can be both stateful, and stateless. Another benefit to use MAMN is that part of security processes is included in MAMN. Therefore, the user does not need to define the processes by him. MAMN is based on a pratical notation Java Ambients. A MAMN model can be converted into an executable java program to run and test its correctness. It is a straightforward modelling notation, which has wide usage for most of the distributed scenarios.
