Mobile agent paradigm offers several potential advantages for distributed computing. Intelligent mobile agents are excellent propositions for open and distributed multi-agent systems where agents carry out the assigned tasks on behalf of their human counterparts efficiently. However, agent migration itself increases network traffic, thereby making these agents inefficient for the purpose over the Internet. The problem can be addressed through a modular design of the agent behaviours which can be invoked on-the-fly. Towards this end, the paper presents a Behaviour Helper design pattern and suggests patternbased design to improve mobility and capability of these mobile agents.
