DARC: A Dynamic Architecture for Reconfiguration of Web Servers Clusters Using Multiagent Systems

Allocating resources in a web server cluster is usually performed nowadays by a cluster administrator. However, due to the dynamics of the Internet as far as the use of resources is concerned, such task may be considered critical and inefficient if accomplished manually. This paper presents an architecture that performs an automatic dynamic reconfiguration using a multi agent system. The conception, specification and implementation of the architecture are presented. Moreover, several experimental results prove the efficiency and the interest of the proposal.
