Mobile agents

Mobile agents are autonomous program entities that travel through a network of heterogeneous machines and act on behalf of a user. We describe the general concept of mobile agents, possible application areas, requirements on agent infrastructures and languages, and problem issues such as security. We also give an overview on current prototypes and research projects.
