Java-Based Mobile Agents - How to Migrate, Persist, and Interact on Electronic Service Markets

This paper presents a mobile agent approach that aims at satisfying the following requirements of open Internet-based electronic service markets: the mobile agent system should be usable by any Internet user without a need for specifically configurated non-standard software tools. It should reduce costs in mobile computing environments and therefore enhance overall efficiency. It should suit well to an electronic service market where local services are commercially offered and business transactions predominate the interaction between customers and suppliers.
