This paper presents an overview of the Grasshopper agent platform, developed by GMD FOKUS and IKV++ GmbH, which provides a powerful middleware for the implementation of agent-based telecommunication services, such as advanced network management, intelligent network, and mobile communications applications. The main target is to enable the dynamic deployment of management and control services inside the network nodes, thereby making the telecommunication networks active. Besides a general overview of the Grasshopper platform features and its usage within some European ACTS research and development projects, we will briefly illustrate the usage of Grasshopper for the implementation of an Active Broadband Intelligent Network environment. This network environment is currently realised within the ACTS project MARINE (Mobile Agent-Based Intelligent Network Environment).
