Hello,

One of my students is all keyed up about mobile software agents.

While the notion of a mobile agent is not new, we are currently
studying control architectures and I really can't see the 
benefits (if any) of mobile elements in the control architecture.

Any comments?  I will post the pros/cons of agent mobility 
if you send email to me.

Regards,
J.C.
