- In computer science, a mobile agent is a composition of computer software and data that is able to migrate (move) from one computer to another autonomously and continue its execution on the destination computer. In reality, the mobile agent is the code/object on the move which travels in its itinerary within the network of connected nodes.

- QUOTE: While mobile agents are a useful approach to distributed computation, in practice they have seldom been used. There are many technical challenges to implementing mobile agent systems. Most of these problems are in the structure of the computational medium, the environment the agents operate in. Servers must be designed, implemented, and deployed that not only allow mobile agents to run, but allow them to run safely.
