Abstract:
Mobile agents can be useful in certain distributed applications.
This talk will discuss a lightweight high-level scripting language
that allows mobile agent applications to be constructed by
programming the movements of the agent (i.e., where the agent is
to do which task), without the clutter of the syntax of a full
programming language and abstracting away task details.
The language effectively glues together pre-built components
that implement tasks.
