transactions using mobile agents need secure protocols to help the mobile agents to accomplish the transactions initiated by a client in an electronic commerce. However, the mobile agent could encounter hostile environment. For example, a server may compromise the mobile agent and try to obtain private information of the client. A solution to tackle this issue has been proposed. However, the ex...

Mobile agents have been proposed as a novel and useful paradigm for designing distributed applications. Mobile agent based distributed applications are specially suited for mobile computing environments involving different types of devices because of better bandwidth conservation, support for disconnected operations, easier device/user-specific customization etc. As a mobile agent migrates from...

Using migrating (mobile) crawling agents, the process of selection and filtration of web documents can be done at web servers rather than search engine side, which reduces network load caused by the web crawlers. The mobile code from search engine side transfers and executes on web servers, an environment controlled by another party, it gives rise to several security issues in mobile agent comp...

With the advent of Cloud Computing, the era of technology is at its extreme. Accordingly several issues are under research. In this paper we have considered Load balancing a major challenging issue and proposed architecture with the application of mobile agents. Load balancing is a methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers, or other resources over the network links to achieve...

Our previous works have proposed the deployment of mobile agents to assist vertical handover decisions in 4G. Adding a mobile agent in the 4G could lead to many advantages such as reduced consumption of network bandwidth, delay in network latency and reduction in the time taken to complete a particular task. However, this deployment demands that the deployed collection of agents shall be secure...
