Abstract
This paper deals with the simulation of a multi–agent system based on the Fragmented Mobile Agent Network model. The model consists of agent teams performing remote software management operations and network elements that connect processing nodes and allow agent mobility. A case study considering a scenario in which multi-operation teamwork agents install new software in a network is included. An analysis of simulation results based on operation execution in a simulated large-scale network with different fragment sizes, network sizes and node/link capabilities is elaborated.
