Evolutionary Mechanism for Disaggregated Computing

This paper proposes a framework for configuring software agents on distributed system consisting of heterogenous computers. It is unique to other existing approaches for self-configuration because it introduces the notions of differentiation and dedifferentiation in cellular into real distributed systems. When an agent delegates a function to another agent coordinating with it, if the former has the function, this function becomes less-developed and the latter´s function becomes well-developed. Agents can escape to other computers whose capabilities can satisfy their requirements. The framework was constructed as a middleware system and allowed us to define agents as Java objects written in Java Bean. We present several evaluations of the framework in a distributed system instead of any simulation-based systems and describes practical applications.
