Adaptive Protocols for Agent Migration
نویسنده
چکیده
A framework for building adaptive network protocols for agent migration over a network is presented. A key idea of the framework is to introduce mobile agents as first-class objects. That is, the framework allows network protocols for agent migration to be naturally implemented within mobile agents and then dynamically deployed at network nodes by migrating the agents that carry the protocols. A prototype implementation was built on a hierarchical mobile agent system, and several practical protocols for agent migration were designed and implemented. These protocols can have significant contributions to active network technology as well as mobile agent technology.

Dynamic Configuration of Agent Migration Protocols for the Internet
This paper presents a framework for building network protocols for migrating mobile agents over the Internet. The framework allows network protocols for agent migration to be naturally implemented within mobile agents and then dynamically deployed at network hosts by migrating the agents that perform the protocols. It is built on a hierarchical mobile agent system, called MobileSpaces, and seve...
متن کاملApplication-Specific Routing for Mobile Agents
An approach for building application-specific protocols for migrating mobile agents over a network is presented. The approach has two key ideas. One is to introduce mobile agents as first-class objects. The other is to build and deploy network protocols for agent migration as mobile agents, which allows network protocols for agent migration to be naturally implemented within mobile agents and t...
متن کاملDistributed Consensus of Linear Multi-Agent Systems with Adaptive Dynamic Protocols
This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general continuous-time linear dynamics. Two distributed adaptive dynamic consensus protocols are proposed, based on the relative output information of neighboring agents. One protocol assigns an adaptive coupling weight to each edge in the communication graph while the other uses an adaptive coupling weight for ...
متن کاملNetwork Processing of Mobile Agents, by Mobile Agents, for Mobile Agents
This paper presents a framework for building network protocols for migrating mobile agents over a network. The framework allows network protocols for agent migration to be naturally implemented within mobile agents and to be constructed in a hierarchy as most data transmission protocols are. These protocols are given as mobile agents and they can transmit other mobile agents to remote hosts as ...
متن کاملA version numbering scheme for informational objects used in VM live migration
Various numbering schemes are used to track different versions and revisions of files, software packages, and documents. One major challenge in this regard is the lack of an all-purpose, adaptive, comprehensive and efficient standard. To resolve the challenge, this article presents Quadruple Adaptive Version Numbering Scheme. In the proposed scheme, the version identifier consists of four integ...
