Mobile Agent Control Mechanism for Web Retrieval under Temporal Constraint Environment

摘要

A control mechanism for mobile agent under temporal constraint environment is introduced. With the mechanism, mobile agents can determine their activity by themselves when the agent moves among several servers to do Web retrievals. The mechanism employs a special decision function of agent activity priority and server load. Some experimental results show that the number of Web servers where the agent can do retrieval increases, compared with the case where the agent moves sequentially.
