Fault Tolerance of Mobile Agent

Abstract

Fault tolerance of mobile agents (replication-based technique) is a system used to tolerate faults in a case of crash of machines, platforms , and agents. The system will use JADE framework to simulate our work, the work mainly uses the fault tolerance tool available at JADE to be tested and work on. The main application to be used here is information retrieval application, where som specific information will be gathered and retrieved from several hosts. In case of failure , several techniques could be used to solve this degradation and loss of performance and reliability. Replication – based techniques would be one of the possible solutions to solve the problem of system failure, we apply the existing mechanism and start working on our suggested technique.
