Donghua University researchers Yongsheng Ding and Lei Gao have performed a macrodynamics analysis of mobile agents' migration behaviors that could provide the basis for a ubiquitous Internet framework in which mobile agents autonomously move between computers and interact with each other.
"The study not only favors the design of composite services in a type of self-organizing network architecture, but also benefits the future deployment of an Internet-scale mobile agent system that holds myriads, hosts, and migratory movements of mobile agents," Gao says.
Previous studies have predicted a future Internet based on mobile agents that fulfill users' requests. The researchers say mobile agents could be part of an evolutionary Internet framework in which they are rewarded for successfully performing a service, or discontinued when they fail.
"The characteristics of the future Internet we envision resemble the self-organizing and the self-healing properties of natural ecosystems that have evolved over billions of years," Gao says.
