Abstract

This paper describes two self-optimisation techniques that have been employed in the design of two exemplar agent-based mobile computing systems, namely Gullivers Genie and the Agents Channelling ContExt Sensitive Services (ACCESS) architecture. Specifically, we describe how agent cloning is used within Gullivers Genie as a basis for delivering a scalable architecture. Additionally, we describe the concept of collaborative agent tuning, a process in which multiple agents negotiate in order to optimise their overall performance while residing on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
