Abstract :
In a distributed P2P (peer to peer) network, each computer is able to act as a server for the others. Collaboration and sharing resources are the main purpose of this distributed heterogonous network. Users need to promptly access the vast amount of data and easily use other user´s result. In other words, the processing ability is improved. In this paper, a novel model named FQ (fault tolerant and QoS aware) is proposed using multi-agent technology to respond every information/QoS (quality of service) requirement. The best resources are selected for users accordingly to communication cost and traffic. Intelligent agents cooperate with each other to perform the proper tasks in the distributed network. We describe the agents´ behaviour to support fault tolerance and QoS. This model is more flexible and more efficient in managing requests autonomously.
