Fault-Tolerant Job Execution over Multi-Clusters Using Mobile Agents
AgentTeamwork is a mobile-agent-based job coordination system that targets a mixture of computing nodes, some directly connected to the public Internet and others simply clustered in a private IP domain but not managed by a commodity job scheduler. The system allows its mobile agents to carry a user job with them from the public to private IP domains as well as to form a hierarchy where agents are recursively spawned to launch a job at a different node, to monitor their parent and children, to resume them upon their crash, and to relay a job-termination signal to the root agent, (i.e., the one directly communicating with a user). To manage multiple clusters, all agents running within the same cluster constitute a subtree derived from the agent residing at their cluster head. This algorithm enables mobile agents to deploy a job to multiple cluster heads and henceforth to their cluster-internal computing nodes, as well as to monitor and resume the job both across clusters and within eac...
