Mobile Agent based applications research activities are enlarged and are applied in a wide range domain areas : E-commerce, network management, trafficcontrol, robotics, data-intensive applications, grid computing, parallel computing and mobile computing. In this paper, a analysis of mobile agent based applications on above realm areas are presented. The major functions which mobile agents are better adapted for these realm areas aredescribed
