| Abstract | |
This text presents a project which focuses on the implementation of a framework for mobile agents support within a grid environment project, namely InteGrade. Our framework - MobiGrid - was created in such a way that time consuming sequential applications can be executed on a network of personal workstations. The encapsulation of a long processing application by a mobile agent is what we call task. Hence, the tasks can migrate whenever the local machine is requested by its local user, since they are provided with automatic migration capabilities. Our framework also provides the user with a manager that keeps track of the submitted agents. Based on the execution environment described above, we have created a mathematical model which allows us to simulate how a great quantity of tasks submitted to a grid with many workstations would behave. In this text, we also present our model, as well as the results of our simulations. (AU) | |
