AgentOS Meeting minutes
7/21/97 7pm
Administrative
We will use either Visual J++ 1.1 with the Microsoft SDK2.0 JDK1.1-compliant compiler or the standard Sun JDK1.1 as the compiler tools. Visual J++ project files will be updated regularly. Café projects will not be updated. So using Café is not recommended.
Progress
Larry,Ranjit: A simple self-transporting agent is functioning. A demo can be run using agentos.AgentOS as the receiving kernel and AgentApp as the sending kernel.
Ranjit: Need to make the kernel embeddable inside an applet. Right now, a SecurityException is thrown when agent tries to transport itself to the server node. Need to make sure nested classes are transportable.
Albert: Finished implementation of Whiteboard/Chat application without use of agents. Reading AgentOS documentation. Will come up with several algorithms for implementing agent groups to share with us next week.
Calvin: Will begin writing agents that will be responsible for transporting mail in his mail application.
An: Destroyed his hard drive contents by installing NetWare server, so was unable to make any progress. Will begin writing agents that will be responsible for transporting messages in his bulletin board application.
