System Architecture
Adlet tells you what to look for and what to avoid,
virtual graph tells you where to go, and
negotiation protocol tells you when to go and how to go.
Figure 1 shows the system architecture.
The Adlet Visualizer supports the visual specification and visualization of adlets.
The Adlet Manager supports the creation and composition of adlets.
The Adlet Negotiator handles the negotiation protocols and communications
with the network.
The Active Index System maintains the virtual graph and handles all
messages to/from adlets and active documents.
