How to integrate mobile agents into Web servers

Abstract

Mobile agents are a new paradigm for communication and cooperation in distributed computing. To combine the new paradigm with the promising World Wide Web platform, we integrated mobile agents into Web Servers. In this way, mobile agents may travel from Web server to Web server to access their local data. The paper describes how we integrated mobile agents support into a Web server. We present the state of implementation, and we give an outlook on our future work.
