Abstract:
This paper proposes a bio-inspired framework for adapting software agents on distributed systems. It is unique to other existing approaches for software adaptation because it introduces the notions of differentiation, dedifferentiation, and cellular division in cellular slime molds, e.g., dictyostelium discoideum, 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 general-purpose middleware system and allowed us to define agents as Java objects. We present several evaluations of the framework in a distributed system instead of any simulation-based systems.
