Summary:The Mobile Agent technology is suitable for applications in open,
distributed and heterogeneous environments such as the Internet and the
Web, because it can overcome some limits of traditional approaches. The
paper describes a Secure and Open Mobile Agent (SOMA) programming
environment with two main design objectives that are security and
interoperability. On the one hand SOMA is based on a thorough security
model and provides a wide range of tools and mechanisms to build and
enforce flexible security policies. On the other hand, the SOMA
framework can interoperate with different application components
designed with different programming styles. SOMA grants interoperability
by closely considering compliance with CORBA, the most diffused standard
in the area of Object-Oriented components. SOMA has been adopted as a
platform to develop several distributed applications in the area of
network and systems management, CSCW, and distributed and heterogeneous
information systems
