Abstract
A system and method thereby each of a plurality of agent servers keeps and manages history of movement. Each of the agent servers temporarily stores requests for updates of location information of a mobile agent associated to accumulated number of movement of the mobile agent and periodically sends it to a registration server so that no congestion will occur in accessing the registration server. The registration server renews location information of a mobile server only with the request for update of a higher accumulated number of movements so as not to overwrite newer information with older information.
