Mobile Agent serial number

[ITstudent99]

Hi every one I just I wonder if any one can help

me and my colleague . We are developing a localization algorithm for mobile agent .

and I need the java code that will help me to generate serial numbers
to assign them for mobile agents

I hope that someone will help me

Thanks

What are you looking for in that serial? For it to be a certain number of digits long? In a random order, or a sequential? For it to then input into a certain type of db? and if so, what type?

Hi ...... thanks for your reply

what am looking for is a random serial number of maybe 2 to 3 digit along

so that whenever an agent is created a unique number is assigned to it

and that number will be the ID of that agent.

please feel free to propose any suggestion.


thanks

I'm sure there is a solution, but are you just writing a program to simulate this, or are you trying to interface it with some sort of real-time database, have an actual production solution?

If you're just writing the program, it's as easy as creating a random number generator within 3 digits, making sure it hasn't been created yet, and storing it in some sort of hash table or list.

If this is for a production environment, it's more complicated in the db/device connections, but theoretically the same idea - the only problem will be having the devices themselves accept this number, figuring out how to send the devices the serial (the format)...
