Abstract
Telemedicine is an application area that combines the technology of computer and communication with medical service. Agent system can be applied to patient status watch and medical treatment system in medicine fields. A mobile agent autonomously recomputes its path according to the request of other agents or servers after it can report itself to the nearest host. Then, there is a time overhead. The location search of it can reduce time overhead for recomputing. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to reduce the time overhead and show its simulation through an analytical model. If mobile agent’s migration path is changed while moving on the path, our proposed method searches precisely the location of the mobile agent with the changed path and reduces the time overhead.
