Performance of mobile agent in obtaining the aimed data is evaluated by a computer simulation in terms of the number of mobile agents. As a preparation for the simulation, two parameters "target existing rate" and "living time" of mobile agent are identified through the experiment on the internet. This paper suggests that these parameter are essential factors for distinguishing the suitable situation of using mobile agent for obtaining the aimed data.
