Abstract:

Agent based systems have gained prominence over the last few years. One of the most interesting and much vaunted category of agents is mobile agents. Unlike static agents, which are restricted to operate within a single machine or address space, mobile agents have the ability to migrate about the network, executing tasks at each location, potentially interacting with other agents that cross their paths. Our endeavor is to make a framework for mobile agents which would allow agents to move from node to node and execute at each node. We also incorporate security features and make the framework fully customizable so that a user can create his/her own agents. Finally, we  create a sample real-life application that uses some of the features provided by the agent framework to demonstrate the potentials of mobile agents.
