Abstract
Personal mobility — a fundamental characteristic of Nomadic Computing — creates an environment in which a user roams without a wireless laptop or a mobile phone and yet enjoys anytime, anywhere network accessibility. This paper gives an overview of Nomad's Personal Access System (NPAS), OSI application layer software that provides a personal mobility environment within a virtual network. In addition, it focuses on the part of NPAS, called Site Profile Agent. Site Profile Agent is an inter-site negotiating agent that communicates with its peer to decide services for a nomad. This work is motivated by the larger project of the Mobile Agents Alliance, a collaboration that includes the National Research Council of Canada, the University of Ottawa, and Mitel Corp.KeywordsData RepositoryVirtual NetworkVisitor Location RegisterService OptionHome Location RegisterThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
