Abstract
In the context of advanced telecommunication service execution environments, this paper presents a reactive mobile agent platform, based on a synchronous programming model, a flexible object request broker, and OMG's MAF specifications on mobile agent systems interoperability. The paper details the specific design of the platform, and shows how it addresses key issues such as scalability, reliability, transparent mobility and interoperability. Finally, the paper shows the use of Moorea agents for executing telecommunication service logic in the ITEA Athos European project’s Enhanced Call Server architecture, featuring transparent and dynamic distributed system reconfiguration.
