Abstract

This paper shows how mobile software agents can be implemented in the MaDViWorld (Massively Distributed Virtual Worlds) framework. After setting the stage by exploring the field of software agents, the MaDViWorld framework is presented and analyzed with the goal of implementing agents with it. A set of three agents are then presented in order to analyze the requirements to the underlying framework more accurately. These requirements are considered at both design and implementation level. The paper concludes with an analysis of the improved framework as a general agent platform with respect to the impact of the changes on its use as a massively distributed virtual worlds framework.
