Mobile agents offer much promise, but agent mobility and Internet openness make coordination more difficult. Mobile Agent Reactive Spaces, a Linda-like coordination architecture with programming features, can handle a heterogeneous network while still allowing simple and flexible application design.

Internet applications face challenges that mobile agents and the adoption of enhanced coordination models may overcome. To win the race, coordination models have to be inspired by the Linda coordination model and enriched by programmable reactivity.
