Abstract

Mobile agent technology is an evolving paradigm that combines the inherent characteristics of intelligent agents, namely, adaptability, reactivity and autonomy with mobility. These characteristics of mobile agents provide an excellent means of meeting the distributed and heterogeneous requirements of many military applications that involve low bandwidth and intermittently connected networks. In typical military applications, mobile agents can be used to perform information push, information pull, and sentinel monitoring [1].
