Mobile Intelligent Agents for Network Management Systems

This paper describes work done on ACTS project MIAMI and current work on ACTS project MANTRIP. It discusses how mobile agents can be used in network management and the main benefits of doing that. It concludes that mobile agents can co-operate and complete existing network management architectures in order to provide more distributed and scalable solutions to managing heterogeneous networks.
