Abstract
Mobile agents are computational processes which are capable of moving from node to node around a network. Their use is proposed for the cont rol of distributed systems. It is argued that the use of mobile agents can result in an intrinsically robust and adaptable control system wh en used in conjunction with suitable programming guidelines.
