Abstract
This paper presents a distributed software mobile agent framework for media access. The access and delivery of media is enhanced by an agent architecture framework that utilizesmobile agent characteristics to provide access and delivery of media. Migrating agents to the media source and destination devices enables the framework to discover the properties of devices and media within networks dynamically. The mobile agents in this framework make decisions and work together to enable access and delivery of media through the transcoding of media based on the properties of the data path and device constraints.
