Abstract

Mobile agent technology has received great attention in the last years as a new paradigm for distributed processing systems. Mobile agents are autonomous objects that can migrate from node to node of a computer network. But, due to hosts or communication nodes failures, mobile agents may be blocked or crashes even if there are other nodes available that could continue processing. To cope with above, this paper proposes an efficient policy by introducing the path reordering and backward recovery to ensure the migration of mobile agents. The proposed migration policy will be provided the migration reliability of mobile agents as autonomously as possible, and it is implemented in the MOS, a mobile object system model developed by the Java language.
