Big data and distributed computing are of great importance in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). They are always bonded together, and the latter one upholds the former one. In distributed computing, mobile agent model is the mainstream technology. With autonomy, communicativeness, mobility, and role, mobile agent model is more suitable for large-scale, resources-restrained WSN to deal with big data. This paper mainly studies migration schemes for mobile agents, determines core factors of migration strategy, and proposes SMLA and DMLA algorithms. And aiming at revealing the characteristics of target tracking, this paper puts forward pid-DMLA algorithm; and considering multiple agents' cooperation, it presents Mpid-DMLA algorithm. Moreover, this paper evaluates and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned four algorithms by simulations.

“…In the existing mobile agent systems, the migration methods are directly related with the entire performance of the agent systems due to the increased time required for network and agent's size resulting from the successively accumulated results obtained from the previous tasks on the visited hosts. Thus, the agent structure for migration and migration policies are critical to solve these problems [4,5,12,16,17].…”

“…Regarding the migration strategy of the mobile agent, most of the existing systems either offer the migration policies guaranteeing the migration reliability depending only on the failure of host or does not provide any policy to guarantee the reliabilty [1,2,3]. Accordingly, the mobile agent becomes useless and faces the problems of infinite waiting or orphan status in case of the node losses, network obstacles or absence of database information services [16,17]. To solve these problems, JAMAS [7] proposed the path readjustment and backward recovery method.…”

“…Thus, this structure cannot actively deal with the communication loss, network obstacles and other problems that require the node reassignment for the successful response to the user's complicated and various requests. Regarding the mobile agent migration strategy, numerous researches have been focused mainly on the method to guarantee the migration reliability in case of the failure of nodes or hosts [4,7,17]. Currently, no research has been done concerning the methods that can provide the migration strategy for reducing the time required for network.…”

The migration method of a mobile agent affects the entire performance of the distributed system. Most of the existing migration methods have the slow-witted structures due to the fixed order migration that cause the subsequent accumulation of the task results. They can induce various problems such as the failure of host, network obstacles, service absence, and increased traffic resulting in the inefficient operation of the mobile agent. In this paper, we propose the new migration method using the object replication to solve these problems. The proposed model is simply composed of only three components: the Mobile Agent Client, Naming Agent Server, and Mobile Agent Server. The Mobile Agent Client performs the object replication according to the acquired object information (the number of replications) from the Naming Service Management Module. The main function of the naming service given by the naming agent is to provide information regarding the object replication and the location transparency of servers in the distributed network environment. We also suggest the replication algorithm and the migration model of the replicated mobile agent object using the naming service. The experiments analyzing the performance of our method and the sequential migration method are performed and the results are compared to guarantee the effectiveness of our approach

“…Because mobile agents transfer not only data but also a runtime state and program codes. For this reason, many agent behaviour algorithms have been studied to reduce the amount of traffic behaviour (Chia and Kannapan, 1997;Jurasovic et al, 2006;Lee and Kim, 2008;Miyata and Ishida, 2008). However, these algorithms are complex.…”

In this paper, we propose a method of reducing data traffic on mobile agent migration. Mobile agents are able to simplify network programming with autonomous process migration as compared with inter-process communication. However, mobile agents increase data traffic by transfer of program codes when migration. Therefore, many researchers have proposed for reducing data traffic on mobile agent system with agent behaviour. These methods complicate the algorithm of agent behaviour. On the other hand, we focus on a mechanism of mobile agent migration, and our method is fully independent from agent behaviour. Our method reduces program code traffic with cache on mobile agent runtime environment. We have implemented our technique on a mobile agent framework, and experimented on a practical mobile agent system. As a result, the system's performance has improved to 52%.
