Fault Tolerance Multi Agent co-ordination: A petri net based approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
As technology shifts from centralized computing to distributed computing and then to ubiquitous computing, the users are more dependent on the computer system for task delegation. Here autonomous agent and Multi Agent System (MAS) plays an important role to perform the task delegated by the user. As the fault in MAS is not-deterministic in nature, so designing fault tolerant MAS is a challenging research area. Here we propose a dynamic fault tolerant MAS interaction protocol. We model the proposed protocol using a high level Petri net. The model is analyzed to check the fault tolerance capability in different fault tolerant situation of the system.

In this paper we present a Petri-net-based approach to consider fault tolerance aspects in a modiied control track vehicle system. The proposed approach is based on Fuzzy Time G-Nets which is the integration of two Petri Nets extensions: Fuzzy Time Petri Net (timing Petri net extension) and G-Nets (Petri net extended with object oriented concepts). We also show how to model such system by means...

متن کاملA Survey on Fault Tolerant Multi Agent System
A mult i-agent system (MAS) is formed by a number of agents connected together to achieve the desired goals specified by the design. Usually in a multi agent system, agents work on behalf of a user to accomplish given goals. In MAS co-ordination, co-operation, negotiation and communication are important aspects to achieve fault tolerance in MAS. The multi-agent system is likely to fail in a dis...
متن کاملA Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...
