Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for modeling agent mobility with UML sequence diagrams. The notations used to model agent mobility are focused on capturing agent creation, mobility paths and current agent location. Four approaches are described and compared according to their clarity, the space needed for graphics and their expression of mobility. In a case study, the most suitable solution of the proposed notations for the given scenario is elaborated.
