We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...
To overcome the shortcomings of existing IP networks and to facilitate the overall quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning in the near-future networks, new technologies such as Multi...
As networks become all-pervasive the importance of efficient information gathering for purposes such as monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation can only increase. E...

This paper presents a mobile-agent framework for building and testing mobile computing applications. When a portable computing device is moved into and attached to a new network, t...
In this paper, we propose a global tracking service for mobile agents, which is scalable to the Internet and accounts for security issues as well as the particularities of mobile a...
Mobile agents must be prepared to execute on different hosts and therefore in different execution environments. Even when a homogenous exenvironment is offered by abstracting th...
