Abstract

Mobile agent technology offers a dramatically evolving computing paradigm in which a program, in the form of a software agent, can suspend its execution on a host computer, transfers itself to another agent-enabled host on the network, and resumes execution on the new host.  It can communicate in an agent communication language; it is also a computer system in a complex environment that realize a set of tasks and goals it was designed for. It can be deployed in many complex applications such as Internet, Mobile Data Computing, Electronic commerce, Networking, Manufacturing and scientific computing. Today's mobile agents can be characterized in a number of ways ranging from simple distributed objects to highly organized intelligent software.
