Abstract
The performance of a mobile agent in obtaining data is evaluated by computer simulation in terms of the number of mobile agents. As a preparation for the simulation, two parameters "target existing rate" and "living time" of the mobile agent are identified through experiment on the Internet. This paper suggests that these parameters are essential factors for distinguishing a suitable situation for using mobile agents to obtain the desired data.
