Abstract
The goal of the paper is to create a model for investigating the character of relationships between the freedom and restrictions in the terrorism context, in order to find out how sensitive is the probability of the population survival to small changes in these two parameters. A model for simulating relationships between access to resources and possibility of termination of the population is presented. The model comprises an agent world, its properties, interactions, and a world life cycle algorithm. As the “right” properties and interactions of the model are a question of experimentation, the model is introduced in two steps: a general model and a specific sub-model. Preliminary analysis of results received on a sub-model implementation demonstrate that in certain cases the relationship between the level of access to information and the overall aggressiveness value implying the end of population may has a stepwise character.

Abstract
An overview and comparison of mobile agent systems are presented. The rapidly evolving area of software agents is briefly overviewed. The notion of mobility is analyzed in the context of mobile code languages, and its relation to distributed computing (e.g., client–server model), as well as its possible application areas are studied. Finally the need for a combination of mobility with other features is discussed.
