Research on Extensibility and Reliability of Agents in Web-Based Computing Resource Publishing

摘要

Web-based Computing Resource Publishing is Web-oriented metacomputing system. Agent publishing is its leading style. Extensibility and reliability are two crucial problems for agent. We propose parent-chile agent framework and primary-slave agent framework to improve agents' performance. Several problems arise in the frameworks: how to assign tasks among agents, how th schedule slave agents to select a new primary agent under condition that the original one cannot perform its role any more, and how th deep states in primary agent and slave agents consistent. Aiming at them we introduce agent coordination strategy, slaves scheduling strategy and agents coherence algorithm.
