Software Agents for Efficient Web Server Performance Management

摘要

Network traffic characteristics impacts directly network performance, and resource allocation policies. In this work, we introduce a multi-agent system, that manages the per- formance of web servers with minimal cost of mirroring. In our proposed system each web server is viewed as a software agent that perceives its environment by monitoring its traffic. The goal of the agent is to manage the performance, using cooperative mirror servers, while minimizing the cost of mirroring.
