Abstract
A transactional agent is a mobile agent which manipulates objects in multiple object servers with some constraint. There are other constraints like majority constraint where a transaction can commit if more than half of the object servers are successfully manipulated. An agent leaves a surrogate agent on an object server on leaving the object server to hold objects manipulated by the agent. A surrogate recreates an agent if the agent is faulty. We discuss how transactional agents with types of constraints can commit. We discuss implementation and evaluation of transactional agents for multiple database servers.
