Agents' mobility makes it difficult for them to deliver messages reliably, but a new system changes that. To asynchronously deliver messages to a mobile agent, the Reliable Asynchronous Message Delivery (RAMD) protocol places a "blackboard" for sharing information in each region server. RAMD also relates message delivery with a mobile agent's migration, thus solving the tracking problem and guaranteeing message delivery.
