> SCOPE: Mobile agents refer to self-contained and identifiable computer
> programs that can move within he network and can act on behalf of the user
> or another entity. Most of the current research work on the mobile agent
> paradigm has two general goals: reduction of network traffic and
> asynchronous interaction. These two goals stem directly from the desire to
> reduce information overload and to efficiently use network resources.
> There
> are certainly many motivations for the use of mobile agent paradigm;
> however, intelligent information retrieval, network and mobility
> management, and network services are currently the three most cited
> application targets for a mobile agent system. The aim of the workshop is
> to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application
> developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments
> on the mobile agent technology and applications. The workshop will focus
> on
> mobile agent issues across the areas of network management, mobile
> applications, Nomadic computing, feature interactions, Internet
> applications, QoS management, policy-based management, interactive
> multimedia, Tele-learning applications, and Computer Telephony
> Integration.
