Personal mobility features, that is the ability of a user to access his
or her personalized telecommunication services at any terminal, are of
great importance to answer to the challenge of providing computing and
communication services anywhere and anytime in the disconnected world.
Agent technology is a new and emerging software solution that can
improve the design and implementation of systems supporting nomadic
users. We present a framework for using mobile and intelligent agents to
implement personal mobility features. Our prototype implementation
clearly demonstrates advantages of agent-based solutions when compared
to IN-based and to DPE-based implementations.
