Abstract

We have proposed service discovery scheme using mobile agents for mobile ad hoc networks where nodes and the network topology are frequently changing. Mobile agents autonomously migrate among nodes and then perform a given task at a node. In the service discovery scheme using mobile agents, mobile agents collect and disseminate services in the network. In this paper, we define imbalance measure of service information. We conducted simulation experiments to show the performance of the mobile agents migration mechanism with respect to the dissemination time of service information.
