Mobile-C: a Multi-Agent Platform for Mobile C/C++ Agents
Sample Applications
News
MobileC v1.10.8 Released
2009-4-29
- Added new Security Module written by Najmus Malik. Use the
"--enable-security=yes" option during the configure step to enable the
security module. See the demos in demos/hello_world_secure and
demos/multi_task_example_secure , as well as Chapter 9 in the
User's guide.
- Added MC_MigrateAgent() and mc_MigrateAgent(). These functions allow an
agent to dynamically choose where and when it wants to migrate from
within the agent code space.
- Fixed bug where if an agent has multiple tasks on the same host (in
succession), the agent will be renamed due to a spurious name collision.
MobileC v1.10.7 Released
2009-1-9
- Changed the way agent migration message files are parsed and sent. Before,
the files were not parsed at all before being sent. Now, agent xml files are
fully parsed before being sent. This means that the syntax checking for the
agent xml files will be more strict. Some agent xml files in the demos have
been updated to reflect this.
- Added more documentation regarding persistent agents and the Ch Mobile-C
Package, which is required for agent FIPA ACL communication.
MobileC v1.10.6 Released
2008-12-12
-
Changed the way agent migration message files are sent. The XML files are
now fully parsed into agents before being sent.
-
Fixed a number of memory leaks.
MobileC v1.10.5 Released
2008-11-12
- Fixed MC_RetrieveAgent() : The function no longer returns a shallow copy
of the retrieved agent, but a pointer to the actual agent.
- Added a new demo example at "demos/multi_data_retrieval"
MobileC v1.10.4 Released
2008-10-24
- Added function MC_CallAgentFunc which takes a variable number of
arguments.
MobileC v1.10.3 Released
2008-07-31
- Added documentation about Mobile-C and 64 bit architecture machines.
- Added example for MC_ComposeAgent API function at
demos/mc_compose_agent_example/
MobileC v1.10.2 Released
2008-07-11
- Fixed a bug regarding large agents and http/tcp protocol causing EOF
errors, particularly on Gumstix systems.
- Added FIPA enumerations to libmc.h so that they may be accessed by
including only libmc.h.
- Updated documentation to reflect previous change.
- Upgraded included xyssl package from version 0.7 to 0.9. This fixes
a Mac compile-time error regarding xyssl.
MobileC v1.10.1 Released
2008-07-01
- Mobile-C now communicates successfully with JADE agencies. See the demo
located at demos/mc_to_jade_example/ .
- Bugfixes regarding FIPA message format and compatibility with JADE
- Other minor bugfixes
MobileC v1.10.0 Released
2008-06-16
!! Note: v1.10.0 agents are NOT backwards compatible with previous versions
of Mobile-C. See note below for details.
- Added API to implement FIPA compliant ACL communication. New functions
include:
- MC_AclDestroy()
- MC_AclNew()
- MC_AclPost()
- MC_AclReply()
- MC_AclRetrieve()
- MC_AclSend()
- MC_AclWaitRetrieve()
- MC_AclSetPerformative()
- MC_AclSetSender()
- MC_AclAddReceiver()
- MC_AclAddReplyTo()
- MC_AclSetContent()
- Added API function to load agents directly from an xml file into a local
agency:
MC_LoadAgentFromFile()
- Modified Agent XML format. Please consult the user's guide for specific
details. The new agents will not be backward compatible with older
agencies.
- Added ability for agents to carry persistent data with them from task
to task. See details in API functions mc_AgentVariableRetrieve() and
mc_AgentVariableSave().
- Preliminary .NET Binding implemented by Doug Stark .
- Preliminary testing with Mobilec-C <-> JADE communication using HTTP
protocol.
MobileC v1.9.5 Released
2008-04-25
- Removed command prompt from many demo client programs.
- Added support for parsing and handling FIPA compliant ACL messages.
- Added numerous API function calls to handle the processing of ACL messages,
such as MC_AclSend, MC_AclRetrieve, MC_AclReply, etc.
- Documentation and general polishing of the library, moving towards 2.0.0
release.
MobileC v1.9.4 Released
2008-01-07
- Added many functions that were available in Binary space to
agent space as well. Some example include:
- mc_GetAgentID(),
- mc_GetAgentName(),
- mc_End(),
- mc_HaltAgency(),
- mc_ResumeAgency(), among others.
- Added missing documentation for some agent-space functions.
