Abstract

We present an efficient load balancing algorithm which simplifies the system status information through the use of an information message (VISITOR) in distributed system. Using the proposed algorithm, information gathering for decision-making is possible with less number of messages than the one using existing load balancing algorithm. The proposed algorithm improves the performance of distributed systems over the existing algorithms, not only by exchanging fewer messages to gather the information for making decision on load balancing and migration, but also by automatically determining of node and when to migrate.
