Abstract :
In a mobile computing environment that supports mobile agents, a client can send an agent to visit a sequence of servers in the network. To track the location of agents becomes a critical problem in managing a mobile agent service network. This paper studies the agent search problem based on an open architecture proposed by Lien (see Proc. of the First Workshop on Mobile Computing, Hsing-Chu, Taiwan, p.2-9, 1995) and is currently being implemented in the National Chengchi University
