Dynamic resource management for mobile services

Ragusa, Carmelo; Liotta, Antonio; Pavlou, George

Abstract

In this paper we propose a dynamic resource management system addressing the key requirements of mobile services – i.e. services realized as Mobile Agents (MAs). MAs are exploited here in different ways. First, to realize adaptable, configurable, context-aware services for 3G and beyond. Second, to develop a distributed monitoring system that suits the hurdles posed by service and network mobility. Finally, to construct a management system that can dynamically re-configure MA-based services for load-balancing and adaptation purposes. We present the resource management system architecture, a scheme providing run-time adaptation through agent mobility, and a prototype implementation along with some important simulation results.
