Abstract

In this thesis a shipping broker agent system, which can be executed by a CORBA-based environment using the distributed object technique, CORBA is designed and implemented. Nowadays, while the EC system is extensive on the web, legacy host systems have limitations and its capacity-upgrade is required. In order to solve these problems, the method that distributes programs into several computer systems can reduce their loads, set low system capacity and minimize network bottleneck. In this thesis using Agent Communication Language(ACL), we propose an agent based prototype and implement an intelligent agent prototype for ships search using CORBA, which can exchange and share data between different systems.
