Mobile Agents for Battlespace Information Exchange

Abstract

This report provides an overview of Mobile Agent (MA) technology which is especially suited for use in networks with ad-hoc connectivity and fluid topology. This is still very much the case in Defence operations where consumer-level infrastructure is not available. The report provides an overview of MA characteristics and follows with a description of the implementation architecture of a specific MA framework. It then proposes their relevance in application to battlespace information exchange.
