MAS & Fault-Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the considerable efforts spent on researching and developing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) there is a noticeable absence of deployed systems. In the past the MAS research community ignored this problem arguing that it is not a genuine MAS problem and consequently of lesser importance than other unsolved issues like cooperation, coordination, negotiation and communication. However, as the field matures, empirical evaluations of techniques and systems are more commonly used and deployment issues like the management of a MAS become increasingly important. This paper introduces a generic framework for fault-management in MAS that has been successfully tested in a large scale MAS.

متن کاملFailure semantics of mobile agent systems involved in network fault management
Recently mobile agent technology has been recognised as a potential tool for realising distributed network fault management. The autonomy and mobility of such agents can help ensuring robustness of the management system. A mobile agent is dependent on a suitable environment consisting of a set of mobile agent systems (MAS) of compatible system types. In this paper we examine what failure semant...
متن کاملResource Management and Adaptive Replication for Fault-Tolerant MAS
Distributed cooperative applications are now increasingly being designed as MAS. Such applications may be massive, open and very dynamic: new agents can join or leave, they can change roles, strategies, etc. This characteristics create new challenges to the traditional approaches of fault-tolerance. In this paper, we focus on a replicationbased preventive approach. The aim is to dynamically and...
متن کاملFault-Management in Multi-Agent Systems
Complex multi-agent systems (MAS) that consist of large numbers of loosely coupled, heterogeneous agents tend to be difficult to manage. The management of MAS, which i s similar to that of other decentralized and highly distributed systems, covers a range of activities including fault, configuration, performance and security management. In this paper we focus on the specific issues of faultmana...
متن کاملFault Tolerance Multi Agent co-ordination: A petri net based approach
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 challengin...
