Abstract
A mobile agent that performs a network management task needs to access services on visited nodes. In this paper, the integration, for the purpose of service discovery, of the service location protocol in a mobile agent API called Aiglet is presented. The capabilities of Aiglet are illustrated and evaluated using a configuration task requiring discovery of services in wireless local area networks
