We have developed a distributed asynchronous Web based training system. In order to improve the scalability and robustness of this system, all contents and a function that scores user's answers are realized on mobile agents. These agents are distributed to computers, and they can obtain using a P2P network that modified Content-Addressable Network. In this system, although entire services do not become impossible even if some computers break down, the problem that contents disappear occurs with an agent's disappearance. In this study, as a solution for this problem, backups of agents are distributed to computers. If a failure of a computer is detected, other computer will continue service using backups of the agents belonged to the computer. The developed algorithm is examined by experiments.

In this paper, we present usages of XML-RPC and the effectiveness in a mobile agent framework named Maglog which is implemented in a Java environment. XML-RPC is used for the following two purposes in Maglog. First, it is a transport mechanism that an agent migrates from one computer to another one. Second, it is an interface which is accessible from applications, written in any other language, which support for XML-RPC. In order to realize an agent migration mechanism, custom serialization mechanism is implemented to customize Java's built-in serialization mechanism. In custom serialization mechanism, objects which represent for an agent are encoded as an XML document. Encoded objects are transferred using XMLRPC. For deserialization, a dynamic class loader is implemented. If no custom serialization is used, an object cannot be deserialized on a remote host, because the class description of the object may not be in the host. As an example of an interface which is accessible from applications, we show a user interface program of a distributed e-Leaming system which we have developed.
