• The German Agent Page collects the German research projects on mobile agents; in particular, the Mole platform (Java agents based on object migration and remote method invocation) and the ffMAIN infrastructure (based on HTTP and aimed at multiple languages) are pointed out here.

• The Agent-Tcl system at Dartmouth College has similar goals to Ara, but is currently biased towards the Tcl language.

• The Aglets workbench from IBM's Tokyo Research Lab is a development environment for remote dispatch and control of Java applications.

• The Open Software Foundation is developing a Java based infrastructure with a rich set of services, such as full migration, location-transparent communication, caching, and more.

• The Messengers distributed system from the University of Geneva is built on small pieces of mobile code (in a special stack based language) from the ground up.

• The UCA at Irvine has developed a platform also called MESSENGERS, emphasizing mobile agents as a coordination paradigm on LANs. Agents are programmed in an interpreted, restricted dialect of C.

• The Tacoma system at Tromsø and Cornell university sends source code (together with some initialization data) in various languages (C, Tcl, Perl, Python, Scheme) which is executed upon receipt.

• General Magic's Telescript system contributed substantially to the current interest in mobile agents.
