            Neste tutorial foi apresentado o uso de agentes móveis por gerenciar redes. Muito das pesquisas nesta área estão ainda iniciando, assim os recursos disponíveis estão escassos. Ao longo do trabalho, foram dadas várias referências para atividades relacionadas a alguns centros de pesquisa.

            Muitas perguntas ainda precisam de ser respondidas antes de qualquer observação definitiva possa ser feita.  Recentes desenvolvimentos no uso da Internet indicam a importância dos agentes em aplicações de informação intensivas. Mobilidade de agente vem sendo usada crescentemente em várias tarefas que requeiram atenção extensa.

            Uma tendência que é crescentemente visível como exemplificodo pela tecnologia baseado em Jini, é uma interseção de tecnologias baseado em objetos remotos (como CORBA), código móvel e agentes.
