Mobile Agents: Right Concept, Wrong Approach

This position paper looks back and takes stock in the context of mobile agent technologies1 . Our claim is that mobile agent technologies received wrong attention. Partially because of this, the technology is still too premature. Though, software mobility is a far too tal structuring abstraction to be considered useless. Our conjecture is that this concept can be applied in larger scale once web service architectures become an Internet commodity.
