My boss has asked me to implement a project that includes writing a "mobile code" using java programing language. This code will be transferred on the network of nodes ,going from the source code node to other nodes, and at a point returning to it with certain information.

Since its the first time somebody asks me to implement a networking project ..i have no idea what "mobile codes " are.

So i tried to do a lil research and it turned out that "mobile code is software transferred between systems, e.g. transferred across a network or via a USB flash drive, and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient." (from wikipedia)

however i couldnt find anything useful related to mobile codes transferred on the network that explains them in details and that gives open source examples so i know what kind of programming i will be doing.

all im asking for is to give me resources ( urls, books, .. ) just anything that i could read, understand and build upon.. because at this point, all i know about mobile codes are the definition i pasted above !! thank you :)))

PS: please let the resources u;ll be giving me be specific to the project i have to implement.

lookin forward for you replies :)

Assuming I understand your boss, what he wants are "agents". There are several libraries to make writing agents easier.

Did you ever see The Matrix? The description Morpheus gives Neo for "agents" describes software agents much more closely than it does government agents.

I am sure JADE is active, but not very sure if Aglets are still maintained.
