Abstract

These days, the portable computers are capable of connecting to network by wireless communication while the user moving.

Moreover, it is likely that most users operate not only with their portable computers but also with other computers at their office, their home and so on.

This platform is designed in order to cover the shortages wireless communication and to provide a platform for agents that support user mobility.
