Abstract

Mobile agents represent a modern approach for distributed programming in heterogenous clusters. To deal with massive dynamic behaviour, suitable tools for coding, testing, and observation of agents are needed. In this work, a universal concept and an implementation for a portable agent-oriented monitoring system is explained. The focal point of the monitor environment is the analysis and visualization of dynamic agent behaviour and node utilization for performance optimization as well as for basic debugging purposes
