Disseminating Mobile Agents for Distributed Information Filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
An often claimed benefit of mobile agent technology is the reduction of communication cost. Especially the area of information filtering has been proposed for the application of mobile filter agents. However, an effective coordination of agents, which takes into account the current network conditions, is difficult to achieve. This contribution analyses the situation that data distributed among various remote data servers has to be examined with mobile filter agents. We present an approach for coordinating the agents’ employment, which minimizes communication costs. Validation studies on the possible cost savings for various constellations show that savings up to 90% can be achieved in the face of actual Internet

A Review on Mobile Agent Security
Mobile agents are enjoying a lot of popularity and are destined to influence research in distributed systems for the years to come. Thus far, technology has been instrumental in disseminating new design paradigms where application components are not permanently bound to the hosts where they execute. Mobile agents are gaining in complexity as they evolve and are now widely used in e-commerce. Al...
متن کاملAwareness and Agility for Autonomic Distributed Systems: Platform-Independent Publish-Subscribe Event-Based Communication for Mobile Agents
We propose using the publish-subscribe model to complement proprietary or standard agent communication languages, useful particularly in the case of exchanging and disseminating short communications about events and consequently, reducing complexity of multi-agent messaging. We describe how we implemented the event notification mechanism for mobile agents, and analyse experiments that demonstra...
متن کاملAgvent: Agent Based Distributed Event System
In recent years, a growing attention has been paid to the publish/subscribe communication paradigm as a means for disseminating information, also called events, through distributed systems on wide-area networks. As it allows events to be propagated in a way that is completely hidden to the component that has generated them as well as to its receivers, it is particularly interesting when easy re...

متن کاملEnhancing Traffic Visualizations for Mobile Devices (Mingle)
Current media for disseminating traffic conditions to motorists are often infrequent and lack sufficient detail. Mingle, a mobile application for visualizing historic traffic information in conjunction with current conditions, was developed to alert users to problematic areas and allow them to make informed decisions with respect to altering their route. Mingle layers select traffic datasets on...
