Abstract :
Open Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) can be extremely dynamic due to heterogeneous agents that migrate among them in order to obtain resources or services not found locally. In this scenario, it is not reasonable to expect that foreign agents know in advance all the information of the MAS in which they will execute. Thus, this paper proposes DynaCIP, our approach for continuously supporting mobile agents with contextual information and presents a prototype application.
