Peterson}, title = {{Performance Analysis of Mobile Agents for Filtering Data Streams on Wireless Networks}}, institution = {Dartmouth Computer Science}, year = 2000, month = {May}, number = {TR2000-366}, copyright = {the authors}, URL = {https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~kotz/research/kotz-model-tr/index.html}, abstract = {Wireless networks are an ideal environment for mobile agents, because their mobility allows them to move across an unreliable link to reside on a wired host, next to or closer to the resources they need to use. Furthermore, client-specific data transformations can be moved across the wireless link, and run on a wired gateway server, with the goal of reducing bandwidth demands. In this paper we examine the tradeoffs faced when deciding whether to use mobile agents to support a data-filtering application, in which numerous wireless clients filter information from a large data stream arriving across the wired network. We develop an analytical model and use parameters from our own experiments to explore the model's implications.}, }
