Mobile agents provide an important paradigm for supporting dynamic services in Computational Grids. We outline reasons why mobile agents are useful and how they can provide support for resource discovery and performance management in the context of service-oriented Grids. We also discuss factors which are likely to limit the uptake of the mobile agent approach, and how some of these restrictions can be overcome. This approach is subsequently exemplified by means of a mobile agent based programming and execution framework, the MAGDA system.
