Combining state and model-based approaches for mobile agent load balancing
Christos Georgousopoulos, OMER F. RANA · 2003
An approach for dynamic load balancing of mobile agents is described. We demonstrate this approach for a multi-agent system operating on an active digital library composed of multi-spectral images of the Earth, as part of the Synthetic Aperture Radar Atlas (SARA)[25]. In the proposed architecture specialized stationary agents are used to gather system state information and make decisions on the distribution of mobile agents among the servers. Our approach is based on a combination of a state and model-based approaches to load balancing.
