Editing Mobile agent (section)

{{Multi-agent system}}

In [[computer science]], a '''mobile agent''' is a piece of [[software agent]] combined with data that is able to migrate from one computer to another autonomously and continue its execution on the destination with the ability to interact with other agents there. Rather than a [[Client (computing)|client]] requesting data and performing actions, a mobile agent is sent to a [[Server (computing)|server]] to perform those tasks. This paradigm delegates the work from the client and onto the server.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url= |title=Mobile Agents and Security |series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science |publisher=[[Springer (publisher)|Springer]] |year=1998 |volume=1419 |isbn=978-3-540-68671-2 |editor-last=Gigna |editor-first=Giovanni |location=Berlin |doi=10.1007/3-540-68671-1 |s2cid=32201981 |oclc=657901937}}</ref>{{Rp|page=v–vi}}
