Abstract :
Agents\´ mobility makes it difficult for them to deliver messages reliably, but a new system could change that. To asynchronously deliver messages to a mobile agent, the reliable asynchronous message delivery (RAMD) protocol places a "blackboard" in each region server for sharing information. RAMD also relates message delivery with a mobile agent\´s migration, thus addressing the tracking and message-delivery problems\´
