Abstract :
In this paper we describe a system that performs software installation on a vast heterogeneous network using mobile agents. More specifically, the Java aglets platform has been used to achieve this purpose. We require that a one time installation of the Java aglet server is done on all nodes in the network. When new software is to be installed, the central server is responsible to send agents over the network that performs the installation. Error handling and security features have also been addressed in our system.
