Research in the telecommunications ?eld suggests that future network
infrastructures will be composed of sensors, wireless devices,
personal digital assistants, networked appliances and numerous types
of services. This brings up key issues such as unfamiliar users and
service interfaces, discovering services that match user’s needs,
?nding and tracking people and resources, establishing useful contacts
and appropriate associations between resources and users, and managing
a large number of dynamic network entities all of which must be
performed in an automated and proactive manner with a certain degree
of autonomy and mobility. These are the main characteristics exhibited
by mobile software agent behavior, making the technology more suitable
for future telecommu- cation applications and services. It also
reveals the tremendous potential for the mobile agent paradigm. The
potential complexity of mobile agent operation requires that
mechanisms exist on several levels to coordinate its activities. For
this purpose research and development on various forms of mobile
agents continues to grow in a staggering fashion. Age- based
applications and services such as network management, e-commerce,
information gathering on the Internet, mobile communications, active
networking, and most recently ad hoc communications are becoming
increasingly popular and continue to contribute to the development and
to the success of mobile agent technology. In addition it is well
established that mobile agents is an ideal sister technology for
mobile ad hoc networks where users, applications, services, devices
and networks are mobile and dynamically con?gurable.
