Abstract
The ever increasing number of nomadic users will create a trend towards networking technologies that support mobility. Although wireless networks have already become commonplace and continuously expand their area of application with new technologies, like Bluetooth, wire-line networks as backbones or broadband bearer technologies will continue to play a significant role. A scenarios where the user has the requirement of using all available services on the road just as he would at home, in other words without needing to know any details about the network infrastructure — whether it will be by plugging your laptop to hotel network or turning on your wireless LAN on your PDA — will become more and more common. It is in situations like these where agent technologies will become very useful. User agents on user’s device can discover the network, and locate and communicate with services on the network transparently to the user.
