Mobile Agents: A Construction Kit for Mobile Device Applications

Abstract-- Mobile Agents are a well-known programming paradigm nowadays. There is a multitude of research concerning Mobile Agent Systems with emphasize on agent coordination, agent languages and agent migration technology. On the one hand, it is often argued, that Mobile Agents are well-suited for the use in the Internet and especially with Mobile Devices and roaming users. On the other hand, there are only few publications describing the actual implementation of a Mobile Agent System for Mobile Devices. In this paper we present our implementation of the Mobile Agent System Okeanos for the use in mobile environments with emphasize in agent routing and forwarding.
