  • Abstract
    The author briefly describes some of the Jini networking system´s features and attempts to show how this system´s assumptions differ from those used to construct other distributed system frameworks. The author then characterizes mobile agent systems, showing such system´s intrinsic differences from Jini and some of their basic problems. Finally, he discusses how agent systems could use the Jini system approach to solve some of these intrinsic problems.
