    abstract = {Mole is one of the first Java-based mobile agent systems. It runs on an
      unmodified Java virtual machine on PCs under Windows 95/NT and on Workstations
      under several UNIX dialects. Earlier versions of Mole have provided a basic
      infrastructure for communication and migration of mobile agents. Version of
      Mole has been strongly revised and several requests and proposals from users of
      the earlier ver sions of Mole were integrated into the new release. In
      particular Mole supports communication between agent groups and concept of
      sessions. The infrastructure of Mole includes a resource manager, a direc tory
      service and a global naming scheme for agents. In order to support the design
      of agents, a graphical agent monitor allows to visualize the system behaviour
      as a whole or of a single agent in particular. Mole further provides a thread
      management unit to overcome some shortcomings of the Java virtual machine. Mole
      provides a simple means for installation and configuration of the system. This
      paper describes the architecture and infrastructure provided by Version 3.0 of
      Mole.},

    abstract = {A performance model for the interaction of agents in mobile agent systems is
      presented. Two interaction models, namely the remote procedure call and the
      agent migration are considered. Performance models for a single interaction are
      introduced, which are then used to derive a performance model for a sequence of
      interactions. This performance model can be used to evaluate the performance of
      any possible behaviour of an agent in a given scenario. The application of the
      performance model for a typical scenario in mobile computing shows that the
      optimal behaviour of an agent is achieved by a mixed sequence of remote
      procedure calls and agent migrations. The performance model is validated by
      measurements of interactions of real agents in the mobile agent system Mole.},
