Mobile agent implementation in location-based services

Most devices in ubiquitous network environment have limited memory and processing power, thus they can't provide all services even when in suitable locations. Mobile agent technology could be implemented to improve resource efficiency. The goal of this paper is to propose mobile agent technology in location-based service. The system consists of three parts: (1) mobile agent server, (2) location-based service server, (3) client. It is observed that mobile agent offers many advantages for ubiquitous and mobile computing settings.
