Mobile Agents - Process migration technology and its implications Mobile Agents - Process migration and its implications Mobile agents are agents that can physically travel across a network, and perform tasks on machines that provide agent hosting capability. This allows processes to migrate from computer to computer, for processes to split into multiple instances that execute on different machines, and to return to their point of origin. Unlike remote procedure calls, where a process invokes procedures of a remote host, process migration allows executable code to travel and interact with databases, file systems, information services and other agents. The technology behind mobile agents is examined, and an analysis of its uses and implications is offered.
