Here we present a research project to create and deploy an Intrusion Detection System based on Autonomous Mobile Software Agents. An Intrusion Detection System is an administration/management tool that identifies and reacts to intrusion and unauthorized use attempts. These agents will use mobility facilities, allowing an efficient use of resources, by dynamically distributing processing tasks, with a minimal degradation of the performance perceived by users. With this kind of system, it's easy
