We show how a goal-oriented view of mobile agent itineraries separates itinerary the agent must accomplish (which we call its ITAG-Goals) from the agent is to accomplish its goals (i.e., its strategies), thereby providing flexible and robust behaviour in a dynamic network. Our approach generates strategies given a goal and a model of the network environment. We also show how strategies can be reused and how the agent regenerates strategies for its remaining goals in the face of difficulties.
