An agent-based load balancing mechanism: PLRM using Java

Abstract

We discuss current typical load balancing mechanisms, which can be divided into static or dynamic models. We also discuss the program-data model known as SPMD and MPMD. On this basis, as a result of our research work, we have built a new dynamic load-balancing model called the periodical load rebalancing model (PLRM) based on Java. We introduce agent technology to strengthen host-host communication during re-balancing. As a result, load balancing can be made more accurate and efficient. The final target of our work is to research how balancing should work in a large-scale ubiquitous problem domain.
