Abstract

This paper introduces a model LBMA (Load Balancing using Mobile Agent) firstly. LBMA can resolve some problems in traditional load balancing, including structure of system, updating load information, and adjusting strategies of load balancing. Secondly, the paper analyses some traditional algorithms for updating load information and their disadvantages. Then, aiming at these disadvantages, we propose a novel algorithm for updating load information partially based on mobile agent and stochastic interval, named ULISI (Updating Load Information based on Stochastic Interval). Finally, from our simulation experiment results, we conclude that it is reasonable and feasible to introduce mobile agent to load balancing, and the performance of ULISI is improved.
