Abstract

The promise of reduced communication costs-decreased application latency or reduced network load-often motivates programmers to use mobile agent technology. The authors analyze data distributed among various remote data servers using one filter method and present an approach for coordinating mobile agent dissemination that minimizes communication costs. Trace-driven validation studies for various constellations show that cost savings of up to 90% can be achieved under Internet conditions.
