Abstract For almost all applications within the tele-communication area, speed and quality of data transfer is a very important factor. A main reason for using mobile agents in the telecommunication world is that there is a potential for better performance. Especially for mobile tele-communi-cation networks like GSM, mobile agent technology can have considerable advantages. This is based on the fact that a GSM user has a relatively narrow bandwidth to his disposal, and that the connections are not always reliable. This is the case when a mobile agent's data amount is relatively small, and a mobile agent application does not need a permanent connection. In order to verify these statements, an analytical performance model for mobile agents was derived. In order to test the performance model on a real application, measurements on an HBCI based homebanking application for mobile agents [1] were carried out. In addition an optimisation strategy was defined and evaluated for an information retrieval service [2].
