Inter-Agent Communication: A Cost-Reduction Approach Using an Autonomous Mobile Mailbox
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider a mobile mailbox communication scheme to reduce inter-agent communication costs. We employ a mailbox mobility strategy based on the ability of the mailbox to predict variations in inbound message rates and to migrate , if necessary, to a potentially better position in the network.

Mailbox - Based Scheme for Mobile Agent Communications
M obile agent technology has great potential for use in networking and distributed systems. Its applications range from telecommunications, e-commerce, and information searching to process coordination, mobile computing, and network management. Mobile agents are autonomous objects or object clusters that move between locations in a mobile agent system—a distributed abstraction layer that provid...
متن کاملAn Efficient Mailbox-Based Algorithm for Message Delivery in Mobile Agent Systems
Agent mobility presents challenges to the design of efficient message transport protocols for mobile agent communications. A practical mobile agent communication protocol should provide location transparency to the programmer and thus need to keep track of the movement of an agent. In addition, because of the asynchronous nature of message passing and agent migration, how to guarantee the deliv...
متن کاملDesign of Adaptive and Reliable Mobile Agent Communication Protocols
This paper presents a mailbox-based scheme for designing flexible and adaptive message delivery protocols in mobile agent (MA) systems. The scheme associates each mobile agent with a mailbox while allowing the decoupling between them, i.e., a mobile agent can migrate to a new site without bringing its mailbox. By separating the concerns of locating the mailbox of a mobile agent and delivering a...
متن کاملMechanisms to Locate Mobile Agents in Multi Agents Environment
Mobile Agent (MA) is autonomous software entity which moves from host to host in the open network like internet under its own control. It is once launched its creator or base host has no information about its location until it come back to the creator after completing its itinerary. In multi agent environment where multiple agents are launched, different MAs often need to locate each other in o...
متن کاملSeamless Handoff Using Mailbox Approach
Mobile IP is used to keep track of location information and make the data available to the mobile devices anytime, anywhere. Mobile IP has been widely accepted but lacks in providing seamless handoff. We have proposed a framework for wireless network that uses a flexible and adaptive mailbox-based scheme. In this scheme a mailbox associated with each mobile node while allowing de coupling betwe...
