Abstract :
The mobile agent technology is gaining importance in the distributed management of networks and services for heterogeneous environments. But the mobile agent loses messages frequently. So people generally restrict the use of mobile agent to some limited functions and only local agent communication and synchronous communication are supported. These restrictions limit the agility of the mobile agent application. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a prototype system that provides dependable asynchronous communication. The main focus is on the aspect of agent communication.
