文摘Mobile agent technology has drawn a tremendous amount of attention from researchers in distributed computing recently as it promises to provide an elegant and efficient way of solving complex distributed problems, as well as offering a new approach to human-computer-interaction. In mobile agent systems, the mobile agent travels autonomously from one computer to another within the agent enabled networks, executes itself in the agent execution environment, collects useful information and makes its own decision or behalf of its owner. This mobility nature of mobile agent demands its unique name in the whole network otherwise it gets lost or conflicts with other mobile agent having same name. This paper proposes a naming scheme which promises a unique name for a mobile agent within that network. Key words mobile agent - mobile agent platform - naming scheme
