Abstract
A transactional agent is a mobile agent that migrates from a
site to another one in order to execute a distributed transaction assigned
by a user. Works on transactional mobile agents have identified two prob-
lems that can not be solved by the agent alone. The first one is related
to the reliability. The lack of a fault tolerant infrastructure and method-
ologies that address fault tolerant execution of mobile agents highlights
a major drawback of this technology. The second problem for which the
agent needs assistance is related to the atomic validation of the transac-
tion. In this paper we address the mobile agent fault tolerance and the
transactional support
