The Research And Application Of Mobile Agent In E-Commerce

With the development of information technology and the global popularization of the Internet, E-Commerce has already become the main trend of the development of the economic society. It not only changes the competitive strategy, the competitive basis and the competitive mode, shortens the distance of the chain of supply between the manufactories and the customers, but also changes the structure of the market, reduces the cost of the transaction and improves the business efficiency greatly. However, with the scope expense of the E-Commerce applications and domains deepening of the applications, the technology of the traditional e-commerce and its environment face the enormous challenge. As for c/s technology, with more and more system applications and interactions between the manufactories and customers, the burden of the system becomes heaver and heaver and the efficiency of the systems becomes lower and lower. It wastes a lot of resources of the network. Moreover, information is so much that the customers are difficult to find the perfect commercial requirement. How to enhance the independence, flexible, collaboration and intelligence of the e-commerce systems is the problem which we need to solute quickly. The development of the software Agent, especially the mobile Agent, gives light to this object. Applying the mobile Agent to the domains of the e-commerce can efficiently solve the problems that arise during the development of the e-commerce, such as resource finding, negotiation and automation of the transaction, etc.Based on the research of the theory of e-commerce, this paper not only particularly analyzes the whole process of online shopping and deeply studies the theory, crucial technology and the structure of the Mobile Agent, but also explores the applications in the e-commerce systems. Taking a book shop as an example, we brings forth a B2C e-commerce model based on Mobile Agent and particularly introduce thefunction of every Agent, including search Agent, negotiation Agent and transaction Agent and so on. Finally, we emphatically research the Agent platform—Aglet. Taking Aglet as the development platform and combining other JSP^ SERVLET technologies, we preliminarily implement the system making use of MVC design pattern and detailedly introduce the creation, dispatch and communication of the Mobile Agent.
