“…Crash and agent software fault models seem to be supported in most of the existing implementations (84%). Only about 35% of the studies supported all three fault models [44], [27], [38], [30], [31], [32], [42], [36], [45], while 12% of these studies considered the issue of network partitioning and suggested a solution to it [44], [38], [30]. …”

Abstract:Mobile agents have engrossed substantial attention in recent years, especially in fault tolerance researches and several approaches have emerged. Fault tolerance design tends to put a stop to incomplete or complete loss of the agent in the face of failures. Despite these developments, reliability issues still remain a critical challenge. Moreover, there is no comprehensive detail bringing together, summaries of the existing efforts of researches in order to focus attention where it is needed most. Therefore, our objective in this systematic literature review (SR) is to explore and analyze the existing fault tolerance implementations in order to bring about the state-of-the-art and the challenges in mobile agent's fault tolerance approaches. We used studies from a number of relevant article sources, and our results showed the existence of twenty six articles. Our analysis indicates that the existing approaches are not generic and each focuses on a specific aspect of the problem, usually in one or two specific fault models which impacts on agent's reliability. The implication of the study is to give a clear direction to future researchers in this area for a better reliable and transparent fault tolerance in mobile agents.

“…Fault tolerance techniques in mobile agents can also be classified as agent centric technique and system centric technique [19]. Agent centric technique provides fault tolerance within the mobile agents and system centric technique moves the monitoring and fault recovery into a separate software entity.…”

“…Reliable execution of a mobile agent is to guarantee the exactly-once execution of an agent even in case of a system failure [11]. Many fault-tolerance schemes for the mobile agent system have been proposed and they are categorized into the replication schemes [3,7,8,11] and the checkpointing schemes [2,10,12] .…”

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a low overhead replication scheme for the fault-tolerant mobile agent system. In the proposed lazy replication scheme, execution of a primary agent and migration of its replicas are concurrently processed . Also, the primary agent perforrns asynchronaus consensus with fixed consensus agents so that the consensus step and the replica migration step can concurrently be processed. As a result, the primary agent should not wait for the completion of the replica migration step unless any of the consensus agents fails. The proposed scheme has been implemented on top of the Aglet system and its performance has been measured.
