The RCRT Exciton Framework supports distributed and parallel computing using mobile agents that can move around between available host servers, as necessary. Exciton agents are xml/java-based quasi-autonomous rcrt soliton-agents, which are coupled together by, and can travel through, XML Space.

Exciton builds on our XML Space technology, which facilitates xml-oriented parallel computing. The Exciton framework supports populations of mobile agents that provide dynamic space-oriented services. These agents can relocate themselves, are loosely coupled, and can collaborate using xml-space messaging.

Exciton solution-spaces provide a powerful technological paradigm. Exciton enables populations of quasi-autonomous software agents to be released into a network, providing services to one-another, and moving between host servers, as appropriate.

The current version of Exciton is: Exciton-2.0.0-beta.
