It takes a multiagent system to manage distributed systems

This article describes a new multiagent system for the management of distributed systems. The system is proposed to optimize the execution of management functions in distributed systems. The system includes the function of each agent and the interactions that occur among agents. The proposed system uses two mobile agents. The first is use to submit tasks to the subnetworks of the distributed system and the other collects results from these subnetworks. The proposed multiagent system is implemented using IBM aglets developed by Lange and Oshima with Java virtual machine (JVM)
