The mobile software-agent paradigm allows the software agent's data or state to relocate from one machine to another. The actual executable code of the mobile software agent could migrate and not be constraint to a single machine or a specific operating environment. Currently, deficiency of open and close standards for mobile software-agents has contributed to the deterrent of its favorable public acceptance. Regardless, numerous efforts are emerging to standardize protocols and application programming interfaces, promising interoperability of mobile software-agents from various vendors. Contemporary development of organizations that focus on various commercial aspects of applied mobile software-agents could increase the public awareness and desire toward this novel technological investment.
