The mobile agent paradigm is applied
to a similar scenario as
the remote evaluation,
where the resources reside
on a different site than the
computational component A.
The idea of the mobile agent paradigm
is to send the entire computational component A
to the remote site and not only the know-how.
In contrast to the remote evaluation paradigm
the mobile agent paradigm does not presume a computational
component B residing on the same site as the resources
for execution of the know-how.
The mobile agent paradigm differs from the remote evaluation and
the code on demand paradigms
concerning the movement of an existing and running
computational component.
