Operating System Support for Virtual Machines With Quality-of-Service Provisions

Abstract

We are investigating system software mechanisms that support remote execution of mobile code (e.g., agents), with the goal of producing a middleware system design and implementation that is realistically deployable in and integrated with the current Internet and web environment. Our -system allows the development of application software structures that promote higher performance, better reliability, and improved security. Our work is especially relevant for end-user client devices that are mobile and wireless, and that need to interact with servers via established Internet and Web protocols. This work is especially applicable in the context of distributed systems with mobile agents, and supplements our previous AFOSR project on System Support for Mobile Agents.
