This book brings together in one single resource the leading edge of
research and practice in three areas of mobility: process migration,
mobile computing, and mobile agents. Presented chronologically, the
papers in this book--each written by leading experts in that particular
area--track the development of critical technologies that have influenced
mobility. Introductions by the editors and original afterwords by many of
the papers' authors provide information on implementation and practical
application, technological context, and updates on the most recent
advances.

The book highlights many common challenges and solutions inherent in
various aspects of mobility: infrastructure, scalability, security, standards,
robustness, naming and locating mobile entities, and more. Individual
papers describe specific research and development in each of the three
major areas, covering such topics as:

An analysis of process migration from the earliest work to contemporary commercial systems
Barriers to effective mobile connectivity, mobile IP, and ubiquitous computing
Descriptions of various mobile agent systems, such as Telescript, Aglets, Agent TCL, and the mobile agent system standard (MASIF)

This selection of influential papers illustrates the evolution of mobile
technology as well as the state of the art of one of the most significant
trends in computing.
