| description |
A performance model for the interaction of agents in mobile agent
systems is presented. Two interaction models, namely the remote
procedure call and the agent migration are considered. Performance
models for a single interaction are introduced, which are then used
to derive a performance model for a sequence of interactions. This
performance model can be used to evaluate the performance of any
possible behaviour of an agent in a given scenario. The application
of the performance model for a typical scenario in mobile computing
shows that the optimal behaviour of an agent is achieved by a mixed
sequence of remote procedure calls and agent migrations. The
performance model is validated by measurements of interactions of
real agents in the mobile agent system Mole.
