In this paper, we present a scheme for the design of mobile agents applications based on components. There is still a paramount issue to overcome in mobile agent technology to allow its popularization: the high programming complexity. The proposed scheme enables secure mobile agent creation by the composition of code components, significantly simplifying the work for the developer. Agent features like itinerary protection, results retrieving, or fault-tolerance can be achieved through reusable components. Our proposal is a steady step forward for the promotion of mobile agent applications.
