Soldier in the field launches mobile agent which jumps through wireless links to the data source; No long-lived connection. Resource Control in Large-Scale Mobile-Agent Systems David Kotz, George Cybenko, Daniela Rus, Robert Gray Dartmouth College • Mobile agents: • Mobile agents are programs that can jump from host to host at times and to places of their own choosing. • Mobile agents have the potential to save bandwidth, reduce latency, and increase server availability for many applications. • Useful in several military scenarios (see other posters). Mobile agent Data source Mobile agent Mobile agent • Results (see other posters): • Mobile-agent systems can scale well, and we know how to do it. • Mobile-agent systems can interoperate through CoABS Grid. • Market-based control can allocate resources to traveling agents, and agents can plan their usage effectively and efficiently. • Models of bandwidth savings show when to use mobile agents in wireless networks.
