Abstract

The Internet has evolved from an information space to a market space with thousands of electronic storefronts, auctions and other commercial services. This market space is not without problem. A main problem is the difficulty of finding relevant offers. We present two possible solutions to this problem: Bon Marché and Logistics Agents which were developed with IBM’s Aglet Workbench – a particular implementation of mobile agents. This paper also surveys the agent technology and discusses the different agent building packages available on the market. Finally, it concludes that the future of local interaction, reduced network loading, server flexibility and application autonomy which are supported by mobile agent technology all help to provide a level agility above distributed problem solving.
