To demonstrate the applicability of the mobile agent technology in supply chain management, the authors developed a prototype system which makes use of a wireless network link, the global positioning system, and mobile agents. The system demonstrates the workability of this combination of technologies in an industrial application. Mobile agent has been called a technology in need of a "Killer app(lication)". Although the notion of transportable computer programs or mobile code has been around for some time, the deployment of the technology remains extremely limited. While there is an abundance of proposed application of the technology, ranging from network management to e-commerce, such applications continue to exist mostly in the realm of research.
