Abstract

Future communication systems promise to offer a wide variety of highly sophisticated and personalised services over the widest possible coverage area. Users expect to be able to use their subscribed personalised services at any place and any time, transparently and independently of the underlying network technology. Mobile agent technology is seen as a very promising approach to deal with distributed computing and user mobility. In this paper we present an agent-based approach for dealing with users' mobility. The system has been implemented for a mobile agent platform developed at University of Catania, which has been enhanced in order to allow the user to access network services in a mobile environment.
