✦ Synopsis

Mobile agents have been proposed for collecting and processing network management information in the Internet and other networks. This paper presents fundamental analytical stochastic models of mobile agent behavior for mobile agent design. The significance of these models is in their utility and flexibility. Models discussed include ones of agent dwell time, agent life span for various cloning scenarios, agent report statistics, and quality of service.
