Abstract
Very large scale networks such as the Internet require a new operational model to use resources efficiently and reduce the need for the administration necessary in client-server networks. In this paper, we present an autonomous decentralised system based on mobile agent paradigm and inspired by the immune system as an alternative to the traditional client-server paradigm. The immune system has a useful set of organising principles that guide the design of scale, adapt and efficient enough networking model to bring answers to some large scale networking challenges. This research is the part of an effort to develop a mobile agent-based middleware that can monitor the resources distributed over a large scale networks.
