ABSTRACT
Web service technology is widely applied in building distributed information systems in order to provide flexibility and extensibility. As in the traditional web services, when the number of clients increases, the traffic problems of network may happen and the services may become overloaded. Distributed mobile agent platforms in Web service have become more mature in recent years, and may help reducing the load from Web servers as well as reduce the traffic for overall network. We have proposed an agent-based framework for Web services that is scalable and reliable. The framework uses mobile agents to solve the traffic problem on traditional Web service systems. In this paper, we study the performance of our proposed approach with the focus on response time. We simulate our framework by mathematical models on a network simulator tool. The simulation results showed that our proposed framework has ability to improve performance in comparison with traditional Web service systems.

An Architecture for Web Services Mash-Up based on Mobile Agents
iiWAS '14: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & ServicesIn the present day, there are many useful domain information scattered over the Internet. But domain users need to navigate different websites or information sources to get domain relevant information. Services mash-up can be used to integrate not only ...
Service Congestion: The Problem, and an Optimized Service Composition Architecture as a Solution
ICWS '06: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Web ServicesWeb services have many important advantages. But their great drawback, the invocation overhead, has not been a research focus. So far, only invocations of simple Web services were considered. But Web service composition may create additional performance ...
