A Decentralized Solution for Locating Mobile Agents
In this paper we propose a new strategy for tracking mobile agents in a network. Our proposal is based on a semi-cooperative approach: while performing its own prescribed task, a mobile agent moves keeping in mind that a searching agent might be looking for it. In doing so we want a fully distributed solution that does not rely on a central server, and we also want to avoid the use of long forw...
متن کاملProfit sharing approaches for freight forwarders: An overview
1 Introduction The idea of collaborative planning processes is to directly connect the resources and exchange relevant data in order to create a common and mutually agreed upon plan [Kilger et al.(2002)]. The collaboration process itself assumes reaching goals that cannot be achieved acting singly [Bruner(1991)]. An additional profit which is generated in the collaboration process should be spl...
متن کاملRational Server Selection for Mobile Agents
Mobile agents have the ability to migrate through heterogeneous networks and execute at remote hosts. This ability can be exploited to improve the performance of agent based applications by transferring agents to less heavily loaded hosts or by adapting the client/server interactions to the network load. That is, rather than transferring raw data through a bottleneck link, a small sized agent m...
متن کاملA Comparison of Mechanisms for Locating Mobile Agents
In this paper we present different possible approaches for locating mobile agents and introduce a classification for them. We will use this classification to categorize mechanisms proposed in standards and implemented in mobile agent systems. Then we assess the different mechanisms regarding their fault tolerance, their message complexity and the migration delay they induce. We conclude by comb...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Mobile Agents: Issues and Approaches
With the emergence of Internet as a world-wide infrastructure for communication and information exchange, Internet-based distributed applications have gained remarkable popularity. One of the most promising approaches for developing such applications is the Java-based mobile-agent paradigm [5,8,15,39]. Mobile Agents (MA) are being used already in a variety of applications ranging from telecommu...
