Abstract

Multimedia content is ubiquitous; therefore it is very difficult to bring all the hidden contents to the every one of universe. Mobile agent technology is the efficient technique to discover and bring the multimedia content to the universe with the help of dynamic itinerary movement. While mobile agent is roaming to discover the ubiquitous content, it has to go and visit multiple servers with different character in nature (that is server may be legitimate or hostile; hostile intention is to disturb the agent functionalities either by killing the agent or modifying the agent functionalities). Whenever the agent is disturbed (agent is altered or killed) by the hostile servers while roaming to discover the content, we should have the recovery mechanism to rollback the agent. This chapter adopts the K-response recovery model to rollback the original agent even then it is cracked or killed by the malicious servers while discovering the multimedia content.
