Abstract
Mobile agents is becoming a prosperous research field due to recent prevalence of Internet and Java. Although it brings great challenges to traditional distributed processing technologies, its attractive advantages stimulate us to further the work on it with great ardor. This paper presents the basic concepts about the inchoate technique and describes current research status on it. Major obstacles and their possible solutions are discussed.
