Abstract

This paper presents an attempt of using intelligent agents for testing and repairing a distributed system, whose elements may or may not have embedded BIST (built-in self-test) and BISR (built-in self-repair) facilities. It also discusses a few possible solutions for remotely managing the agent society, including the devices, agents, tests and repair processes. The agents are software modules that perform monitoring, diagnosis and repair of the faults. They form together a society whose members communicate, set goals and solve tasks. We tried multiple agent platforms, including Java 2 Micro Edition, which ensures portability, flexibility, but also a relatively small memory footprint. Presented remote management alternatives for the agent society include Web/PHP, WAP/PHP, Java 2 Micro Edition and embedded Web servers.
