AMIS: Agent Migration Information System

The total processing time may vary according to the order of visit when a mobile agent is sequentially migrated to another node. An effective migration algorithm is one in which the processing time is kept to its minimum from the initial state to the destination state by ordering the process. The total time spend for the process can be minimized by adopting an effective migration algorithm. Existing mobile agents such as Aglets, Voyager, and Odyssey do not guarantee the effectiveness by not taking the status of the network and the node to be moved into upon the migration. This paper proposes AMIS as the method used for the migration of the mobile agent. AMIS minimizes the total migration time of the mobile agent, and provides a firm and safe order for the migration of the mobile agent.
