Theconceptofagentappearedinthe eldofarti cialintelligence(AI) inthelate1970sandisratherfuzzy,leadingtomanyde nitions. Anagentis usually de ned as a software servant that either relieves the user of routine, burdensome tasks such as appointment scheduling and e-mail disposition, or sortstheinformationthatisrelevanttotheuser scurrentinterestsandneeds. This de nition has made agent a buzzword within both the academic and industrialworlds. Mobileagentsrefertoself-containedandidenti ablecomputerprogramsthat canmovewithinthenetworkandcanactonbehalfoftheuseroranotherentity. Even if they are de ned as a special class of agents that have mobility as a secondarycharacteristic,itismoreappropriatetoconsidermobileagentsasthe achievementofmobileabstractions(code,objectsorprocesses). Theyareoften consideredasanalternativeand/oracomplementforotherparadigmssuchas thewell-establishedclient-server. Insteadoftransferringlargeamountsofdata between the client programand the server,a mobile agent movesto the host withthedataandpertinentresources.
