Overview

Mobile agents are intelligent agents with advanced mobility capabilities. A mobile agent must be provided with so-called strong mobility, a feature which allows it to carry its status with it and accomplish its mission by migrating from site to site on the Internet. A mobile agent can complete on one site what it started on another site.

Starting from the mobile agent concept, this book provides the reader with a suitably detailed discussion on mobile agent principles of operation, as for instance, migration, communication, coordination, interoperability, fault tolerance and security. As an example of application fields for mobile agents, the book discusses how they can be effective in implementing data mining and information retrieval systems.
