Abstract
In order to build the next generation of mobile systems, it is important to distinguish between `physical' and `logical' mobility as a design idiom. Software engineering methodologies, formalisms and environments can then support the design and development of systems centered on the notion of logical mobility. Analysing and understanding logical mobility becomes an important process in translating system requirements into a system architecture. Subsequently, physical mobility translates to understanding the technological constraints that limit the building of real-world mobile systems. This is used as the primary argument for evaluating current mobile agent systems, and is used as a means to understand how mobile agents can be considered with reference to other mobile systems that exist today. Our main contribution is that the integration of logical and physical mobility is essential in supporting software tools and techniques for developing mobile systems. (7 pages)
