A Mobile Agent does not require a permanent connection to the computer from which it was launched. The agent does not care if the computer that launched it becomes disconnected because it can pursue its search operations independently. Moreover, agents are an efficient paradigm for information processing and transfer over wireless networks, which typically have low bandwidth and high latency. By migrating to the location of an electronic resource, an agent can access the resource locally and eliminate costly data transfers over congested networks. This reduces network traffic and improves data delivery, because it is often faster and cheaper to send a small agent to a data source than to send all the intermediate data to the requesting site. We analyze various vital benefits of JADE Mobile Agent (1) conservation of bandwidth, (2) reduction in latency, (3) reduction in total completion time, (4) support for disconnected operation in mobile computing, (5) load balancing.

INTRODUCTION In the past few years there has been an growth of interest in mobile agent technology and several platforms have been developed. Some of them have only been used for research purposes while others have been deployed as commercial products. The society is now looking for applications where these platforms can be effectively used. A Mobile Agent is an emerging technology that is gaining momentum in the field of distributed computing. The use of mobile agents can bring some interesting advantages when compared with traditional client/server solutions, it can reduce the traffic in the network, it can provide more scalability, it allows the use of disconnected computing and it provides more flexibility in the development and maintenance of the applications. In the latest years, several commercial implementations of mobile agent systems have been presented in the market II. THE JADE PLATFORM The platform chosen for implementing migration was JADE, because it is a widely adopted platform within the software agent development and research communities. It is open source and complies with FIPA specifications. This platform facilitates its agents’ mobility, but as shown below, does not meet the requirements for a real migration. The platform is divided into a large number of functional modules, which can be placed into three categories in general terms: Core. The core of the platform is formed by all components providing the necessary execution environment for agents’ functioning. This consists of the agency’s mechanisms for carrying out information processing in ACL messages, and the inter nal structures that the agency and agents will use to represent this content. Mechanisms and protocols used to send and receive messages at both intra-agency and inter-agency level. At the core of the JADE platform is the concept
