Coordination-level Adaptation in Distributed Systems

Abstract:
This paper proposes a framework for adapting the behaviors and coordinations of software agents to changes in distributed systems. It is unique to other existing approaches for self-adaptation because it introduces the notions of differentiation in cellular into real distributed systems. When an agent delegates a function to another agent coordinating with it, if the former has the function, this function becomes less-developed and the latter's function becomes well-developed. The framework was constructed as a middleware system and allowed us to define agents as Java objects written in JavaBean. We present several evaluations of the framework in a distributed system instead of any simulation-based systems.
