Sanjay Yede, Dr. V. N. Chavan

Abstract: Mobile agents are programs that are moved from one source computer and roam among a set of networked servers until they fulfill their task. They have the ability to acquire knowledge by transporting themselves from one place to another. While moving from host to host they execute in agent execution environment called as Agent Meeting Point (AMP) at each host. Upon arrival at an AMP, service requests are resolved to determine if the desired services are available at that AMP. If sufficient resources are available and permitted the constituent parts of the agent are passed to the services and agent starts execution. The central objective of this paper is to study architecture of Mobile Agents and fun
