Abstract
In this paper, we will propose a message transferring model between mobile agents using broadcasting the receiving notification of message by home site creating the corresponding mobile agent or Mobile Agent Name Server(MANS) in the current region of the corresponding mobile agent. Proposed message transferring model adapts the previous broadcasting scheme for transferring the message between mobile agents located in other sites. However, it only broadcasts the receiving notification of message instead of message itself. Proposed message transferring model reduces the communication cost occurred between the home site and the current site of mobile agent by only broadcasting the receiving notification of message instead of message itself and solves the scalability problem in multi-region mobile agent computing environment by using the MANS.
