An Empirical Study of Distribution based on Voyager: A Performance Analysis

The paper describes the model, implementation and experimental evaluation of a distributed Kohonen Neural Network application (Kohonen Application). The aim of this research is to empirically verify the suitability and the performance of a distributed application based on mobile objects and, in perspective, intelligent agents. This research is aims to provide distribution features in decision support systems. The experiment was based in the Java-ABC project. The Java-ABC project is concerned with flexible software architecture for decision support systems which rely on artificial neural network (ANN) technology. Three parameters: used CPU, used memory (RAM) and time consumed by each Kohonen Application, were taken as evaluation measures in this experiment. Three hardware environments were used: two PCs (one local and one remote) under Windows NT with different RAM capacity and a SUN Ultra under SunOS 5.6. This paper presents the comparison of performance measures from our experimental...
