Abstract :
One of the main challenges of the mobile agent technology is how to obtain a host that provides the service specified by the agent. This work proposes a service location module for a development environment for agent-based systems named GTA/AG infrastructure (GTA/agent). This module makes easier the agent programming since the service location module provides the agent´s destination
