Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-agent system comprising of mobile agents communicating with a fixed infrastructure of agent servers. This script-based multi-agent system enables easy access to Internet services and combines remote execution to support mobile users and migration of agents within the agent server network. Such an environment offers a higher degree of flexibility and efficiency to the user by performing much of the work on the server located in the fixed network. The focus of this paper lies on the description of the agent server architecture and the agent definition methods.
