چکیده
Mobile agents (MAs) are increasingly gaining attention in both research and the commercial world. In terms of software, mobile agents are active, autonomous software objects containing both computational logic and state information. Agent technology has many forms such as station, mobile and multi-agent, etc. In this paper, MAs will be addressed as tools for mobile computing. MAs have been used in applications ranging from network management to automatic software distribution, as well as information management. Several benefits are associated with their use by its supporters. We present an overview of mobile agent characteristics, use, platforms and technical obstacles in the area of mobile technology.

متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...
