heal.abstract	Mobile agents have received much attention recently as an effective solution in building a wide range of distributed applications. Despite the research activities carried out, a number of issues concerning mainly the performance of agent-based applications are still open. In this paper, we propose a methodology for improving the performance of a Network Management agent-based application, by controlling the visited sequence of the mobile agents to the target machines. The optimisation of the visited sequence is based on the latency of the underlying network. A management task such as the configuration of a Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Domain is used to test and evaluate the proposed methodology. In particular, it is demonstrated that when a mobile agent should act on. a set of targets, the time required to perform a task is decreased if the visited sequence is decided based on the network latency.	en
