“…Several reports, such as [11,19,21,22,26,30,43], advocate the use of mobile agents to carry out monitoring tasks. However, this is the first effort at proposing a complete and general approach to continuously monitor highly dynamic, distributed environments using mobile agents which also includes a study and evaluation of the synchronization mechanisms needed.…”

Monitoring the changes in data values obtained from the environment (e.g., locations of moving objects) is a primary concern in many fields, as for example in the pervasive computing environment. The monitoring task is challenging from a double perspective. First and foremost, the environment can be highly dynamic in terms of the rate of data changes. Second, the monitored data are often not available from a single computer/device but are distributed; moreover, the set of data providers can change along the course of time. Therefore, obtaining a global snapshot of the environment and keeping it up-to-date is not easy, especially if the conditions (e.g., network delays) change.In this article, a decentralized, loose, and fault-tolerant monitoring approach based on the use of mobile agents is described. Mobile agents allow easy tracking of the involved computers, carrying the monitoring tasks to wherever they are needed.A deadline-based mechanism is used to coordinate the cooperative agents, which strive to perform their continuous tasks in time while considering data as recent as possible, constantly adapting themselves to new environmental conditions (changing Preprint submitted to Elsevier 19 November 2007This is a preprint version of the following article, published by Elsevier (doi:10.1016Elsevier (doi:10. /j.ins.2007 communication and processing delays). This approach has been successfully used in a real environment and experiments were carried out to prove its feasibility and benefits.

“…Prepare negotiation with the current resource agent, L 4 . Send a request to the current resource agent, L 5 . Wait until one of followings happens: If the task runs out of negotiation time, release all the resources previously scheduled, refine the negotiation strategy, and store this case into the case library.…”

“…Agents may be managing private resources as in the case of web agents [2] and email highlighting agents [3], among others. Some systems employ multiple agents [4] that adapt to the current community of agents, while other systems rely on single agents [5] that 'travel' in a distributed environment, adapting to diverse conditions and providing functionality that would otherwise be cumbersome, perhaps even infeasible.…”
