The area of mobile agent security is in a state of immaturity, but rapidly improving. Emphasis is beginning to move toward developing techniques that are oriented towards protecting the agent. Agent technology has been used in many critical applications like business process management, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, distributed processing etc. The mobile agent technology has encountered ...

The reliable execution of a mobile agent is a very important design issue in building a mobile agent system and many fault-tolerant schemes have been proposed so far. Security is a major problem of mobile agent systems, especially when money transactions are concerned . Security for the partners involved is handled by encryption methods based on a public key authentication mechanism and by secr...

Mobile computing requires reliable mobile computing technologies to support data management services for mobile e-Business. An intelligent architecture is engineered that enriches mobile computers with data management services (mobile database access, secure repositories, internet-related services, etc.) making it possible to use agent technology. To provide Mobile e-Services for mobile computi...

Mobile Agents are soft wares migrating from one node to another to fulfill the task of its owner. In Static mobile agents, agent travels on the predefined path whereas in Dynamic mobile agents, agent route is decided by the host or the agent itself, which makes security much more difficult in it. Mobile agents are not properly utilized because of security concerns. Security becomes more challen...

This paper aims at investigating mobile agent tradeoffs in network management by performing management task simulations. Results show that the mobile agent performs better than the SNMP when the number of managed network elements ranges between two limits: an inferior bound, associated with the number of messages that pass through backbone links, and a superior bound, related to incremental siz...

Mobile agents provide an effective and flexible style to develop advanced distributed systems. In order to promote interoperability and ensure the quality of mobile agent systems, it is necessary to formalize software architecture of mobile agent systems. In this paper, we not only define the software architecture of interoperable mobile agent systems using predicate transition nets, but also a...

We present the approach of deploying cooperating agents to detect failures as well as recover services in a mobile agent system. In additional to server failure detection, we use cooperating agents to handle agent failure detection. Two types of agents are involved. One is the agent performing the computation delegated by the owner, which we call the actual agent. Another is the agent that moni...
