Abstract

The effective use of computing resources in a heterogeneous network of computers is a field of intensive research. In this paper a mobile agent-based system is described for distributing modules in such a network. Modules in this paper mean either an entire task or the modules of a task or submodules created by a segmentation algorithm. Methods for module distribution and result collection are given, along with a routing algorithm that allows the easy navigation of agents throughout the system. Some solutions for describing the resource requirements of modules and the resources available on the network are also introduced.
