4.2 Conclusion
An agent architecture provides a flexible alternative to client/server and distributed object architectures. Java is a natural choice for implementing such a system because it is a mobile code platform with built-in support for networking. With the emergence of agent standards, we may soon see more agent systems deployed. But before an agent system is used for real-world applications, robust security mechanisms must be embedded directly into the framework. A secure agent architecture becomes a powerful solution for enterprises looking to implement scalable distributed software systems, especially over the Internet.
