System Name: MILLENNIUM
Current Version: Version 1.0
Organization: University of Oviedo.
Entry status: authoritative
Supported platforms:
execution: all platforms supporting Java2 1.2.1
development: additional make support required
Supported languages:
Java 1.2.1
Implemented standards: none
Type of migration:
weak
How many threads or processes are possible per agent? unlimited number of threads per agent
Local communication mechanisms and format of data:
Not included in this version
Global communication mechanisms:
Not included in this version
How the communication partner can be addressed:
Each agent has a unique identifier (A 20 characters length message
digest ).
The diggest is the result of: Class Name + Date and time of creation + IP
source machine.
Resource access control mechanism:
It supports two different mechanisms, the first is the Java2 security
Agent tracking:
none
Directory of services:
local using a string identifier
Type of code migration:
Two ways of code migration. Main classes are sent with the agent at
Other special features:
- Each local user of the system has a local account to log in in the
system.
- It is possible to assign specific
privilegies to the local users too.
- The agents are sent digital signed inside a jar File, The Jar file

are
athenticate it in the remote host and then they are assigned to a
protection
domain which has specific privilegies.
- The agents can include files to the security policy files in runtime in
order to
assign specific privilegies.
- Each host supervise the amount of resources avalible and if it is running
out
of them the server can modify the security policy files in runtime in
order to
avoid its lackness.
- Since our system was made to provide special security features, it has not
only all the advantajes that Java2 provides but some others as well.
