Abstract :
We propose an agent framework for a dynamically distributed application which consists of many mobile agents. The agents change their configuration dynamically using migration to improve the performance of the application. To support these activities, the framework provides agents with many services, which enable them to communicate with other agents seamlessly even during migration over the network
