What is Gypsy?
Gypsy is a component-based, dynamically extensible environment for mobile agent systems. The primary goal of the Gypsy project is to build a multi-language, extensible environment for experimenting with mobile agents as a programming paradigm. The environment is implemented in Java and currently supports agents written in the Java or Python programming languages. The software is issued under the GNU General Public License.If you are interested in mobile agent systems in general check out my Mobile Agent Resources.
Project Goals
The Gypsy project has the following goals:
- Implementation of a flexible and dynamically extensible environment for experimenting with mobile agent programming.

- Discovery of mobile agent design patterns.
- Support for mobile and detached computing.
- Multi-language support based on language implementations in the Java programming language.
- Effective security implementation for use in large networks.
