Exploring Networks Using Mobile Agents

Abstract Mobile Agents (MA) are rising because there are several benefits. In this paper, we describe a brief introduction about mobile agents and its applications. One of the most important applications in the domain of mobile agents is the research of information on the Web. In these applications (research of the hotels, reservation of a plane ticket, etc...), some agents move on different sites to search information for their clients. Many works have been elaborated in order to introduce the mobile agents’ technology in distributed information retrieval.
