Distributed Retrieval of Management Information: Is it About Mobility, Locality or Distribution?
Authors
Abstract
In this paper we present results from an experimental study addressing the use ofmobile agents in the retrieval of management information. We compare several
agent-based models for distributed collection and processing of management data,
focusing on performance but also considering network traffic and setup costs. This
study reveals that in many situations the performance of mobile agent systems is
mainly determined by distribution, rather than locality. Furthermore, it shows that
despite its importance in the flexibility and adaptability of the management system,
agent mobility does not increase the system performance.
