Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for providing mobility to a user in a telecommunication system composed of different sites. Each site has a Site Agent (SA). The user is represented by a User Agent (UA) which controls three tasks agents, an Application Agent (AA) in charge of the user applications, a Data Agent (DA) in charge of the user data (document files) and a Profile Agent (PA) in charge of the user's profiles. When the user visits a new site, the visiting site agent (SAV) retracts his home UA, causing it to move to the visiting site. The UA investigates the resources available and the users work preferences at the visiting site. UA retracts the tasks agents from the home site, and the tasks agents collect the files that are necessary to implement the requested services.
