A Multi-agent Framework for Performance Tuning in Distributed Environment

: This paper presents the overall design of a multi-agent framework for improving the performance of an application executing in a distributed environment. The multi-agent framework provides services like resource brokering, analyzing performance monitoring data, local tuning and also rescheduling in case of any performance problem on a specific resource provider. The paper also briefly describes the implementation of some part of the framework. In particular, job migration on the basis of performance monitoring data is highlighted in this paper. KEY WORDS: Distributed environment, Performance tuning, Multi-agent framework, Mobile agents, Incremental checkpointing.
