Abstract

We argue that the modern Web infrastructure with HTML5 as such can be an agent platform and mobile agents could be developed in similar way as Web applications. For us the agents can also be end-user applications that the user can send to a server so that the state is preserved and the execution can continue. The user can later fetch the agent to the same client device or to another device. In addition to the mobile agent use cases, the concept also allows users to continue their work later on another device or even allows other users to continue execution in their own devices. The paper presents the overall concept and architecture of HTML5 agents, a number of use cases, the proof-of-concept implementation, and a list of example applications.
