ns2 project in Iowa nevertheless,
this policy can be adapted to provide different levels of access control on the available machines. For
example, a user on a cluster is given full access to all ns2 project in Iowa cluster
nodes, but limited access to external systems. Another
example is deploying an authentication/authorization
policy for different access modes on the participating ns2 project in Iowa machines. In this section, we introduce and analyze a framework for an automated startup and configuration mechanism for a
hierarchical structure of the distributed agents in the system.
The startup stage is essential to guarantee the accurate and
efficient operation of the middleware infrastructure and the
applications using it. The main goal here is to provide system
startup and configuration with minimum user ns2 project in Iowa involvement. Anumber of issues such as how the agents are connected and
how they view one another are considered. The mechanism
for adding and removing agents from the system and their effect on the configuration are also studied. Three protocols
are introduced for automatic startup, leader recovery, and agent update. The distributed agents in the system need to communicate among themselves to perform their required operations.
However, the structure in which these agents are ns2 project in Iowa organized
has a strong impact on how efficient they operate. Within a
single cluster or a limited number of machines participating
in the system, a linear structure is sufficient for the agents to
communicate and achieve their functionality. However, this
requires agents to be fully connected, which may not
always be possible. In addition, the linear ns2 project in Iowa structure causes
considerable delays for some operations that need to be
performed on all participating machines. To overcome these
limitations, we designed a hierarchical structure where
agents have multilevel connections in the system. Generally,
a networked heterogeneous system composed of
clusters and multiprocessor machines ns2 project in Iowa forms the top level
of the hierarchy. Within each of these machines or clusters,
one or more levels may be formed, depending on the type
of machine and number of nodes/processors in it.
Leader agent (called leader hereafter): An agent that
manages and controls a set of other agents ns2 project in Iowa under its
control. Leaders at the same level communicate with
one another directly. 2. Regular agent (called agent hereafter): An agent that
performs the regular agent operations. Agents under
the control of the same leader should be able to
communicate with one another and their leader
directly. In addition, agents in different layers, but in
the same physical cluster (with direct links between
the nodes) communicate with one another directly. hierarchical structure
of a networked heterogeneous system, ns2 project in Iowa which we will refer
to in the rest of this section. The squares denote leader
agents, while the circles represent agents. Some ns2 project in Iowa machines
such as SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) or MPP (Massively
Parallel Processing) machines need a single agent to
handle the resources (e.g., leader 1), while others such as
clusters need an agent for each node. The connecting lines
represent bidirectional communication links between
nodes. However, at the top level of the ns2 project in Iowa hierarchy, the links
between leaders (e.g., 1, 2, and 3) may be a multihop path.
