Introduction
Mobile Agents introduces a new form of distributed computing. Establishing mobile agents as a vital such paradigm requires the study of its applicability in various domains. Thus, we have introduced mobile agents in the area of database and parallel processing. Furthermore, being a new paradigm we have introduced appropriate performance metrics and evaluations.
