Abstract

This paper presents a mobile agent information system designed as the basic tool for creating dynamic clusters. It is aimed at mobile and heterogeneous environments where needs for complex resources and services may arise from stationary or mobile devices of different computing capabilities. MAIS is part of a larger project that will offer users necessary tools for using in a simple manner aggregated heterogeneous and mobile resources and services. Experimental evaluations, reported in this paper, prove the effectiveness and flexibility of the MAIS system.
