Mobile agents: a suitable support for service provision in mobile computing environments

چکیده
This paper aims to investigate the use of mobile agents for service provision in mobile computing environments. A quantitative model and experimental measurements are performed to compare Java RMI and mobile agents in the special context of software downloading. The results show that significant performance improvements can be obtained using mobile agents. In addition, two agent-based services, namely Service Download and Service Discovery, are proposed to illustrate the benefits of using mobile agents for service provision and their potential impacts on mobile computing environments.

Abstract Using mobile agents, it is possible to bring the code close to the resources, which is not foreseen by the traditional client/server paradigm. Compared to the client/server computing paradigm, the greater flexibility of the mobile agent paradigm comes at additional costs as well as the additional complexity of developing and managing mobile agent-based applications. Such complexity ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced MSS-based checkpointing Scheme for Mobile Computing Environment
Mobile computing systems are made up of different components among which Mobile Support Stations (MSSs) play a key role. This paper proposes an efficient MSS-based non-blocking coordinated checkpointing scheme for mobile computing environment. In the scheme suggested nearly all aspects of checkpointing and their related overheads are forwarded to the MSSs and as a result the workload of Mobile ...

Security and privacy are very important challenges for outsourced private data over cloud storages. By taking Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) for Access Control (AC) purpose we use fine-grained AC over cloud storage. In this paper, we extend previous Ciphertext Policy ABE (CP-ABE) schemes especially for mobile and resource-constrained devices in a cloud computing environment in two aspects, a ...
متن کاملMobile Agents for QoS Tailoring, Control and Adaptation over the Internet: the ubiQoS Video on Demand Servic
Service provision over the Internet has to address the issues of differentiated Quality-ofService (QoS) and ubiquitous accessibility. Internet services should take into consideration the user QoS desiderata together with the various properties of servers providing replicated/partitioned services and of different access devices/points, from workstations over high-capacity ATM links to personal d...
