  Building Distributed Application with Aglet
Aglet is different from distributed object model in that computation itself is transmitted, while for distributed object models, we actually transmit the requests for remote methods.
Aglet adopted another approach, it uses a technique called serialization to transmit data on the heap and migrate the interpretable byte-code.Aglet has well-defined entry point for itself to re-start computation.
Aglet server are powerful machines that can host large number of aglets and typically with large amount of data or computing resources.

 Aglet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab-5.cs.princeton.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
An aglet or aiglet is the little plastic or metal cladding on the end of shoelaces (or any type of lace, though shoelaces are the most commonly referenced) that keeps the twine from unraveling.
The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle".
The aglet is also mentioned in the 1988 movie Cocktail, where Tom Cruise's character calls it a "flugelbinder".

 Did you say aglet? 10/20/97
Central to the aglet architecture is the context, or the server environment in which the aglets execute.
Aglets are run by a new aglet object being executed in a context or by being cloned from an existing aglet.
When an aglet is dispatched to an-other server, its code and data is moved to the new context and deleted from the old context.

 The Architecture of Aglets, IBM's Mobile Java Agents: Under the Hood
Aglet hosts use object serialization, available in JDK 1.1 or with the RMI (remote method invocation) add-on to JDK 1.0.2, to export the state of an aglet object to a stream of bytes.
Through this process, the aglet object and the tree of serializable objects reachable from it, are written to a stream.
Thus when an aglet is dispatched, cloned, or deactivated, any relevant state sitting on any stack of a running aglet, as well as the current program counter for any thread, is lost.

 Aglet Context
The aglet context is typically created by a system that has a network daemon whose job is to listen to the network for aglets.
The remote context is identified by its URL, and the aglet is indicated by its identifier.
Because the other one is told of the location as well as the identity of the remote aglet, it is able to retrieve the proxy of the remote aglet and send it a message.

 Aglets
Aglets is a Java mobile agent platform and library that eases the delopment of agent based applications.
Aglets is simple, since it follows an applet like developing paradigm where you are in charge only of defining a few methods to implement the behaviour of your agents.
Aglets is not the only one mobile agent development kit, but it is quite simple to learn and to use, and this probably helped its spread.

 Aglets: Enabling the Agile Enterprise
The aglet core is then encapsulated by an aglet proxy that acts as a shield against any attempt to directly access any of the private methods and variables, and can also hide the real location of the aglet from malicious aglets.
One of the central notions of the Aglets Workbench is its ability to reduce network load by migrating an aglet to the most appropriate host on which to perform its processing.
The itinerary object is the aglets travel plan, and encapsulates the instructions for the aglet on which hosts to go to, and what actions to perform once at those hosts.

From a practical standpoint, the inability of an aglet to migrate with its execution stacks is not an unreasonable limitation.
This method indicates to an aglet that it is about to be sent to a new host, the URL of which is specified as a parameter to onDispatch().
Before aglets can be used in practice, there must be an infrastructure of aglet hosts that prevent untrusted aglets from doing damage but provide trusted aglets with useful access to the host's resources.

 IBMs Aglet Mobile Agent Implementation
Aglets where developed by the IBM research labs in Japan to facilitate the construction of mobile agents with the Java language, which inherently supports some of the requirements of these systems.
Aglets and mobile agents could be viewed as potentially harmful foreign programs, and without such precautions such as Java already provides they would not be acceptable for some practical applications (anything to do with credit card numbers!).
Aglets have four main elements to them, which are the Aglet, the Proxy, the Context, and the Identifier.

 Applications for Aglets
Aglets are useful when the available bandwith is low, when a task would require too much bandwidth in server/client mode.
Aglets could be the building blocks of such an intelligence.
Extending the previous idea, Aglets could be intelligent entities, universal minds or "free spirits" for any kind of machine, be it a household application or a mobile robot.

 Ian's Shoelace Site - Aglet Repair
I'm often asked about aglets, the plastic or metal sleeves at the ends of shoelaces, which stop the ends unravelling and assist with lacing.
You're after aglets to finish off some custom shoelaces that you've made out of ribbons, string or some other material.
The simplest way to create an aglet is to wind two or three layers of adhesive tape around the end.

 ASHISH MALGI ::.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Aglets are Java objects that can move from one host on Internet to another.
That is, an aglet that executes on one host can suddenly halt execution, dispatch itself to remote host and resume its execution there.
As aglets are the programs that transfer from one machine to another, security plays an important role in transferring of agents.

 Of all agent systems, IBM’s Aglets [Agl],[Kar98],[Pha98] has attracted the most attention
The Aglet callback model is to give the aglet a chance to have its say upon Aglet operations.
Aglet also provides a publish/ subscribe model so that the aglet can register its interest in particular message types with the system.
Aglets runtime layer provides the fundamental mechanism to aglet execution: serialization/de-serialization, class loading and transfer, reference management and garbage collection.

 Silver Aglet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Most 17th-century clothing was heavily laced, and a metal aglet would have been fastened to the ends of laces to enable easy threading.
A modern corollary for this object is the plastic tip that is fitted on the ends of shoelaces and that serves to keep the lace ends from fraying.

 Ian's Shoelace Site - Heatshrink Tubing Aglet
If the tubing is scarcely larger than the shoelace, it won't be able to shrink as much, resulting in a flimsy aglet.
The main noticeable difference is that they are slightly flexible, which is actually a minor advantage because they won't split if they are stepped on.
Besides bonding more securely, this is usually a little thicker walled, resulting in a firmer finished aglet.

 Galvin ruling on Aglet's Eligibility to Claim Compensation
Aglet seeks a finding that its participation will pose a significant financial hardship, as defined in § 1802(g).
To meet a rebuttal presumption that a significant financial hardship exits, Aglet is required to demonstrate that it received a finding of significant financial hardship in another Commission proceeding within one year prior to its current request.
Aglet is eligible to file a claim for compensation in this proceeding.

Responsibility for navigation is off loaded from the aglet itself to an associated itinerary object.
Or aglets can be given different types of itinerary without having to modify the aglet's own code.
When the aglet invokes the itinerary's go() method, it is dispatched to the next destination.

 The Aglet Context   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This facility is convenient for aglets that visit remote hosts, perform an arbitrary task, and subsequently revisit that host.
This facility is quite powerful because one aglet can produce data for another aglet that arrives at the same remote location any time thereafter.
Within Tahiti, we simply dispatch the former aglet to an arbitrary host to store data as a property and subsequently dispatch the latter aglet to retrieve the data.
