Summary :

Mobile agent technology is applied to enhance the remote network management of large-scale networks, and real-world oriented entertainment systems, and so forth. In order to communicate, the agents exchange messages mutually and migrate repeatedly among terminals. Although these systems efficiently accomplish the tasks by using a large quantity of mobile agents, they have a serious problem in that the number of messages between agents increases in proportion to the square of the number of agents. These systems have to reduce the communication costs, such as the number of hosts relaying messages; however, the conventional message-delivering schemes alone cannot keep the communication costs to a minimum under all conditions. To minimize the communication costs, we propose a hybrid message-delivering scheme which dynamically selects the optimal message-delivering schemes. Firstly, we evaluate the communication costs of conventional schemes, and we design the hybrid message-delivering scheme. Then we perform simulation evaluations to derive the threshold value for switching a scheme to minimize the communication costs.
