“…Yet with the exception of agents within PathFinder [5], the only other general purpose monitoring system we are aware of that intends to support mobile code is the BRISK system [1], which has plans to employ a Scheme-based language for agents. Hence, actual experience with mobile code in general purpose monitoring systems is very limited.…”

Abstract.One of the greatest challenges facing the software community today is the increasing complexity of software. Complexity limits understanding, making it difficult to evaluate the correctness, reliability, and performance of a system. Coupled with visualization, monitoring can provide users with insight into an application's behavior. Monitoring can also be used in conjunction with automated tools to adaptively tune performance. This paper presents a detailed look at how mobile agents that are embedded in a monitoring system can be used to find a token within a distributed system. Several strategies by which agents may accomplish this task are qualitatively compared. We then describe tests that were performed to evaluate trade-offs among the strategies considered, and discuss the results of those tests.
