title = "Mobile agents in implementation of a virtual home environment",
abstract = "This paper reports experiences in using mobile agents to implement a virtual home environment. The application environment is an IP-based service network, where the service access is restricted and profiled to those services, which the user has subscribed. The network is encisioned to couple various administrative and technology domains while all services may roam between the domains in order to match the users need to move around and yet connect to his personal communications environment. Agents were applied to provide the user with his personal profile in the visited domain and to negotiate with multiple service providers for the most optimal service offer. Implementation of two agents is studied and the communication trade off is reported. The benefit of using mobile agents within design is discussed.",
