Multi-agent system is an emerging technology that makes it much easier to implement and maintain large scale and complex network systems. In such systems there can be applications where the processing of clone agents is essential in all the specified nodes. In this kind of application, special attention should be paid on the slower agents as any slow response can make other agents waiting, which can delay the entire task. To overcome this problem, an agent-execution control method based on processing status of clone agents has been proposed in our lab. However, in this method, CPU resources are not allocated effectively on heterogeneous environments. In this paper, we propose a robust scheduling algorithm for multi-agent systems even with heterogeneous CPU resources and agent jobs with different work demands. The proposed algorithm allocates the same amount of CPU resources to all the clone agents created by the same user even if CPU powers of the nodes are heterogeneous. Moreover, low work demanded jobs are prioritized than the high work demanded jobs. This can improve the response time of the entire agent system. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by simulation experiments. |
