Mobile agent (MA) technology represents a recent trend for implementing distributed
management architectures, as an answer to the flexibility and scalability problems of …

Proposed management architectures, incorporating mobile agent (MA) technology, fail to
address scalability problems, when monitoring tasks employing multi-hop agents are …

Several distributed architectures, incorporating mobile agent technology, have been recently
proposed to answer the scalability limitations of their centralized counterparts. However …

Due to their intrinsic complexity, computer and communication systems require increasingly
more sophisticated management strategies to be adopted in order to guarantee adequate …

In order to fully realise the potential of mobile agent technology to address the needs of the
network management domain, it is imperative to establish the conditions where mobile …

This paper presents a framework for reusable mobile agents for network management in the
sense that they are independent of either particular networks or applications. The framework …

In this article we discuss the potential uses of mobile agents in network management and
define software agents and a navigation model that determines agent mobility. We list a …

The purpose of this thesis is to present a comprehensive colligation of applications of mobile
agents in networks, and provide a baseline association of these systems. This work has …

Mobile agents can migrate among nodes to perform a set of management tasks at each of
the visited nodes. Existing mobile agent-based network management systems often assume …

The mobile agent (MA) technology has been proposed for the management of networks and
distributed systems as an answer to the scalability problems of the centralized paradigm …
