Location transparent routing in mobile agent systems merging name lookups with routing

Abstract

Telecommunication systems these days are moving from static wide area component structures towards highly dynamic mobile infrastructures. This shift requires new algorithms to interconnect these mobile entities/components and route messages between them. In this paper we describe a naming and routing algorithm which can be used in fine-grained mobile component systems. As a case we use a homogenous environment of mobile multi-agent systems, which executes agents as they pass by.
