Mobile Agents: Objective, Platforms and Architecture (the Cutting Edge of Wireless Technology)

In the past few years the computer systems have evolved from monolithic computing device to much complex client-server environment, now new phase of evaluation allows complete mobility of application code among supporting platforms to form a loosely-coupled distributed system. Mobile agent paradigm is one such technology which has numerous applications where it can be beneficial to name a few areas where the mobile agents have potential deployment is database search, distributed systems and e-commerce. It can produce very good results in limited resources or in deficient environment where bandwidth and memory are significant constraint. But still it is not widely accepted due to its security issues. This work seeks to explain the objectives and properties of the mobile agents in currently used architecture and platform of mobile world from the currently used approach RPC (Remote Procedure Calling) and new approach RP (Remote Programming) of the mobile network we can distinguish the various used unused and new features of mobile agents. The paper tracks the various hurdles and properties used from the beginning of mobile world till now, lists out the advantages and shortcomings and explore architecture of mobile agent platforms that can help to remove those shortcomings.
