  • Abstract
    This position paper looks back and takes stock in the context of mobile agent technologies (White, 1996). Our claim is that mobile agent technologies received wrong attention. Partially because of this, the technology is still too premature. Though, software mobility is a far too fundamental structuring abstraction to be considered useless. Our conjecture is that this concept can be applied in larger scale once Web service architectures become an Internet commodity.
