Abstract

Multi-agent systems fit nicely into domains that are naturally distributed and require artificial intelligence technology. Has been designed an autonomous information services integration architecture based on network to support the rapid changing environments and needs. However, substantial increase of users requests and redirects it may cause the system to unbalance loading and part overloading. This paper proposes an integrated access method by reduces the number of Pull Mobile Agents to reduces the total load of the system in order to achieveautonomous load distribution. In addition, the information structure of integrated service area is effective to improve the ratio of the satisfaction of Pull-Mas (Pull Mobile Agents) with joint request on one node. Through simulation tests show that this system can be guaranteed that services requests and related services requests is uniformly distributed to the nodes of system and ensure that the system load balancing.
