Abstract :
Telecommunication systems these days are moving from static wide area component structures towards highly dynamic mobile infrastructures. This shift requires new algorithms to interconnect these mobile entities/components and route messages between them. In this paper we describe a naming and routing algorithm which can be used in fine-grained mobile component systems. As a case we use a homogenous environment of mobile multi-agent systems, which executes agents as they pass by
