This project focuses on the implementation of a framework for mobile agents support within a grid environment project, namely InteGrade. Our goal is to present a framework where time consuming sequential tasks can be executed using mainly the idle cycles of a network of personal workstations. The mobile agents may be used to encapsulate long processing applications (tasks). These agents can migrate whenever the local machine is requested by its user, since they are provided with automatic migration capabilities. Our framework also provides to the user a manager that keeps track of the agents submitted by him.
