A mobile-agent and SNMP based management platform built with the Java ProActive library

This paper presents our research into determining an adaptive and an up-to-date service developed for system and network management. By using a discovery process, the effective network topology is recorded and refreshed as necessary. In that way, by mixing collected information at each sub-network for example, an itinerary can be obtained that spans the whole administrative domain. Based on such possibility, we have developed a pre-programmed library that can be easily used in order to obtain a mobile agent for network and system management whose itinerary is dynamic.
