During the recent years of research on mobile agents, significant effort has been directed towards the identification of models of agent mobility suitable for network management a...
Social and intentional behaviours appear as two main components of the agent paradigm. Methods of conventional software engineering do not seem to be appropriate to gain a full kno...
Mobile agents can migrate among nodes to perform a set of management tasks at each of the visited nodes. Existing mobile agent-based network management systems often assume that t...
