Abstract

Mobile agents, a relatively new paradigm for distributed software development, has become an accessible technology in recent years. The potential benefits of this paradigm, including the reduction of network bandwidth consumption and latency, promise to revolutionize distributed applications.

This paper describes a proposed project to deploy the mobile agent technology in warehouse management.
