Distributed management based on mobile agents

abstract
During the forthcoming years, Internet-based concepts will continue to revolutionize, in an
unpredictable way, the mode enterprises provide, maintain and use traditional information
technology. Management systems will be a crucial issue in the struggle with this crescent
complexity. However, new requirements have to be considered, due to the expectation of
enormous quantities of different elements, ranging from an impressive network bandwidth
availability to multimedia QoS-constrained services. Many researchers believe that mobile
agent paradigm can provide effective solutions on these new scenarios.
This paper presents an implementation of management applications supported upon
distribution and delegation concepts. For that it uses the current work of IETF’s Disman
working group enhanced with mobility provision. The mobility allows the distributed
managers to adapt dynamically to a mutable environment optimizing the use of network
resources.
