Abstract

This paper describes the functionalities and the implementation of a load balancing scheme with fault tolerance characteristics to guarantee the survivability of a web service using intelligent agents technology. In this proposed model, agents are responsible for the automatic reconfiguration a traffic load balancer for web servers by exchanging information related to availability and workload and using an agent communication language. Besides this feature, with the objective of the network service survival, the intelligent agents monitor the load balancer and may assume its functions in case of failure and thus keeping the network service available.
