Distributed cognitive mobile agent framework for social cooperation: Application for packet moving

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed Distributed Cognitive Mobile Agent Framework for Social Cooperation to transfer packets from source to destination in randomly varying environment in the most efficient way with the help of mobile agents. We are considering Packet Moving problem in 2-D environment consisting of packets and destinations. The task of each mobile agent is to move the packet from the source to the destination. Simulated environment is dynamically generated with varying graph size (i.e. number of nodes in graph), package ratio and number of destinations. Packages and destinations are randomly placed in the graph and the graph is divided into societies to encourage an efficient and manageable environment for the Agents to work in parallel and share expertise within and outside the society. The proposed framework is based on layered agent architecture and uses decentralized approach and once initialized manages all the activities autonomously with the help of mobile agents. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
