Mobile Agents

Mobile agents are software programs that can move across networks to perform tasks on behalf of users. Unlike traditional programs that run on a single computer, mobile agents travel to different servers or devices, carrying data and instructions with them. This allows them to perform functions like data collection, monitoring, or processing in diverse locations. By reducing the need for constant communication with the original user’s system, mobile agents can optimize performance and efficiency in tasks such as network management or online services, adapting to varying conditions and resources along the way.
