Multi region-tree based dynamic commission home proxy communication mechanism for Mobile Agent

Abstract

In order to realize collaboration and negotiation among MAs (Mobile Agents) in MAS (Mobile Agent System), or control the Mobile Agent and release the resources it occupied, There must be a reliable and efficient communication mechanism for mobile agent, it plays a very important role in the realization of MAS and in the promotion of the widely use of MAS in the large scale network environment. In this paper, we present a novel communication mechanism MRTBDCHP (Multi Region-Tree Based Dynamic Commission Home Proxy Communication Mechanism) for Mobile Agent, it can temporarily commit a server as its communication support point near the resource or its associators, it overcomes many shortcomings of the currently existing mechanisms, further more, it is more advantageous for the application of MAS in the large scale network environment, and this mechanism is more conform with the design principles of distributed computing systems. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
