A Nature Inspired Multi-Agent Framework for Autonomic Service Management in Pervasive Computing Environments

This paper describes the design of a scalable biomimetic framework in the management domain of complex ubiquitous service-oriented networks. An autonomous network service management platform - SwarmingNet is proposed. In this SwarmingNet architecture, the required network service processes are implemented by a group of highly diverse and autonomic objects. These objects are called TeleService Solons as elements of TeleService Holons, analogue to individual insects as particles of the whole colony. A group of TSSs have the capabilities of fulfilling the complex tasks relating to service discovery and service activation. We simulate a service configuration process for multimedia messaging service, and a performance comparison is made between the bio-agents scheme and normal multi-agents scheme
