Abstract
Mobile agents offer unique opportunities for structuring and implementing open distributed systems. This new paradigm is an alternative to Remote Procedure Calls used in client/server systems. Consequently a wide range of applications are perfectly suitable to be implemented through mobile agent technology, e.g. electronic commerce. This paper introduces the Java Agent Environment — JAE, a multi-agent system comprised of mobile agents communicating with a fixed infrastructure of agent servers making services provided through the Internet accessible. An important constituent of this architecture is the exploitation of existing trader systems.
