.... is being provided, and then returns to its starting point, namely the home node, after obtaining a service offered remotely [23] One of the major potential application areas for mobile agents is distributed information retrieval, which involves access to a huge amount of data across a network [12, 20, 19, 21]. In conventional distributed computing, the distributed information retrieval process is carried out through a direct connection mechanism, such as Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) which access the distributed database directly from a remote area. In the case of mobile agents, instead of ....

....remotely using a direct connection. The total computation time taken can be shortened, especially when data transmission is the bottleneck of the task [2] 3] 11] 16] In this domain, information is spread over several hosts and it is now common for these hosts to be geographically separated [9][10] Should the mobile agents be ordered to retrieve information in an information retrieval system, all the pertinent nodes have to be specified, and these nodes must be fully covered. The number of agents and the execution time are two significant performance factors in mobile agent planning. ....

....served by just one machine. Crosscollection searching is not at present enabled. While fairly simple for collections on a single server, cross collection searching across different servers would involve a distributed search process which is addressed by some information retrieval systems (e.g. [3]) Our goal is not to further the state of the art in information retrieval per se, but to provide a flexible structure into which the latest advances can be slotted. ACCOMMODATING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES The digital library presents itself to the user in various languages, and new ones can be ....
