The present invention relates to an arrangement for improving availability of services in a communications system, especially a telecommunications system, said system comprising distributed hardware and software components which interact in order to provide services to one or more users, and primarily the invention suggests that this improvement can be implemented by introducing in said system a user mobility support, for thereby enabling application availability including personal mobility. More specifically, the present invention suggests the introduction of user mobility support in distributed systems, and specifically by using agent technology which allows modification of internal implementation of agents without effecting the rest of the system.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A system for providing user or personal mobility in a communications system, the system comprising:a first user in a user domain, wherein the first user is using a first terminal;said first terminal, second and third terminals being in a terminal domain;a Telecom domain;wherein user mobility support is implemented by use of a plurality of different agents for each user on the first terminal, wherein a first agent PD_UA.sub.a for the first user is located in the Telecom domain and at least a second agent TD.sub.m-- UA.sub.a for the first user is located at said first terminal in the terminal domain, and wherein the first and second agents collaborate in order to enable interactions involving the first user, and wherein said first user can use each of said first and second terminals at the same time by having the first user's agent TD.sub.m-- UA.sub.a on the first and second terminals at the same time; andwherein said second agent TD.sub.m-- UA.sub.a for the first user and a third agent for a second user are at said first terminal such that multiple agents for respective different users are at said first terminal, so that the first and second users can use/share said first terminal at the same time.
