摘　　要：Mobile agent currently is a hot spot among research fields of Internet technology. The deployment of mo-bile agents over network usually needs extra infrastructure for agent migration and communication,which adds to thedifficulty of popularizing MA systems. We present in this paper an Email-box-based mechanism of agent migrationand communication,which is built on top of the formerly developed MOON-EAMS system. This mechanism,basedon Email formatting skills,utilizes Email for data transfer,and offers a loosely coupled option of agent migration andcommunication,which ,compared to related works ,obtains the advantage of easy implementation,and reduces the riskof network connection failure.Mobile agent currently is a hot spot among research fields of Internet technology.
