DEVELOPING A NEW MECHANISM FOR LOCATING AND MANAGING MOBILE AGENTS

Abstract

There is a trade- off between the agent tracking process and the message delivery process in locating mobile agent systems. In the proposed system we try to strike a balance between these two processes. Communication in Multiagent system requires an efficient mechanism to manage these communications. Reliability and transparency are the design goal for any modern mechanism. In this paper we develop a new mechanism to manage the communication among autonomous mobile agents. This mechanism has the ability to manage agent mobility in an efficient, scalable and transparent way. So no message is lost and all transitions are transparent to the user. The architecture of the proposed mechanism is described and the naming, communication, localization and re-localization ways are given.
