Abstract:Mobile agents are agents that can migrate from host-to-host to work in a heterogeneous network environment. A mobile agent can migrate from host-to-host in its itinerary with the statistics generated on each host through a route known as migration pattern. Migration pattern therefore is the route the agents use to move from the first host to the last host within the itinerary. However, there is need for a comparison between the commonly used optimization algorithms in developing migration patterns for mobile agent in respect to some evaluation metrics. In this paper, the various techniques commonly used for developing migration pattern for mobile agent are discussed and their comparison was done based on migration time, complexity and network load as metrics.
