Abstract

In recent years popularity of Mobile-Agent systems makes it one of the promising technologies for developing intelligent software systems. The most important issues in the Mobile-Agent system are the migration of agent which can be categorized as Strong or weak. Strong mobility allows the agents to migrate without loss of execution state at any time, a powerful mechanism for implementing peer-to-peer computing environment. We have designed and implemented a strong mobility framework for SAGE (Scalable Fault Tolerant Agent Grooming Environment). Our key objective is to offer efficient and reliable infrastructure for agent’s strong mobility. We have performed a number of experiments to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed architecture.
