Mobile-Agent versus Client/Server Performance: Scalability in an Information-Retrieval Task

摘要: Building applications with mobile agents often reduces the bandwidth required for application, and improves performance. The cost is increased server workload. There are, however, few studies of scalability mobile-agent systems. We present experiments that compare four platforms a traditional client/server approach. have similar behavior, but their absolute performance varies underlying implementation choices. Our demonstrate complex interaction between environmental, system parameters.
