Rational Server Selection for Mobile Agents: Problem Solution and Performance Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since agents have the ability to migrate to outperforming resources they can potentially balance the load of heterogeneous systems. However, to balance resources efficiently agents must take the load into account. Thus, to support the agent migration strategy the application of server selection systems has been proposed recently. Server selection systems keep track of the load of network and host resources and hence predict the performance of different migration strategies. Yet, server selection comes at a cost and therefore agents must take care when applying it. This paper presents a decision strategy for the agent’s decision problem. The performance of the approach is analysed with the help of a simple queuing model.

Rational Server Selection for Mobile Agents
Mobile agents have the ability to migrate through heterogeneous networks and execute at remote hosts. This ability can be exploited to improve the performance of agent based applications by transferring agents to less heavily loaded hosts or by adapting the client/server interactions to the network load. That is, rather than transferring raw data through a bottleneck link, a small sized agent m...

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 کاملAnalysis and Modeling of VoIP Servers: A Linear Programming Approach
The SIP protocol was standardized by the IETF at the application layer for initiating, managing, and terminating multimedia sessions and has been widely used as the main signaling protocol on both the Internet and VoIP networks. Most challenges in this protocol are overload and lack of proper state distribution. These challenges cause a wide range of next-generation network users to face a shar...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of feature interaction resolution methods
The designers of telecommunications services are confronted with the commonly called Feature Interactions (FI) problem: services (or features) that behave correctly alone, may behave incorrectly once they are used together. In this paper, we model and compare performances of two technologies for solving the FI problem, namely client-server (CS) and mobile agents (MA) technologies.
متن کاملJoint Allocation of Computational and Communication Resources to Improve Energy Efficiency in Cellular Networks
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is a new technology that has been developed to overcome the restrictions of smart mobile devices (e.g. battery, processing power, storage capacity, etc.) to send a part of the program (with complex computing) to the cloud server (CS). In this paper, we study a multi-cell with multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system in which the cell-interior users request service...
