Abstract :
Mobile agent technology, which combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) with distributed computing, has been a hotspot in research of distributed computing and AI.Essentially, Mobile agent is an object that looks for cooperators in the Internet on behalf of a user, and cooperates with other agent in order to implement the task of the user. At present, the cooperation of mobile agent mainly focuses on the research of communication mechanism. In order to resolve the problems above, this paper proposed a reliable and mobile agent communication model. In this model, mailbox is used to be the transfer of message sending, which can also prevent the phenomenal of message chasing. The position information of mobile agent is not only stored in the home place of the agents,which is the computer where its mailbox is stored, but also stored in the computer where the agent is rest now. So that, the burden of its home place can be reduced, the neck bottle can be avoided, and the sudden-dead agent can be detected in time.
