Abstract

Agents, integrating cods, and data mobility, can be used as building for structuring distributed computations. Despite its attractiveness, mobile agent programming is still a disputable technique and needs further study. This paper reflects our experience in using mobile agents for implementing monitoring tasks. It gives a brief overview of the mobile-agent model of computations and the D'Agents platform in particular. Then, a monitoring application, built on top of D'Agents under Linux, is described. Features of mobile agent programming with D'Agents are discussed.
