Mobidget: A platform for mobile and distributed systems adaptive to Internet/intranet

Current electronic markets require highly flexible and dynamic computer sys tems. For example a supply chain management system, which creates added val ue by combining and utilizing various types of information in a network, co vers both the Internet and intranets. This makes it difficult for systems t o work efficiently if they are designed statically and inflexibly. Moreover , since new business models are continually being developed, quick reconfig uration and dynamic modification are critical in designing the systems, Thi s paper proposes a way of creating such systems by integrating agent migrat ion, distributed objects, and multi-threading. These are implemented in a n etwork programming language called Mobidget dagger.
