Abstract

Multi-agent systems are mostly used to integrate the intelligent and distributed approaches to various systems for effective sharing of resources and dynamic system reconfigurations. Object replication is usually used to implement fault tolerance and solve the problem of unexpected failures to the system. This paper presents the intelligent multi-agent distributed platform based on the dynamic object group management and proposes an object search technique based on the proposed filtered k-means (Fk-means). We propose Fk-means for the search mechanism to find alternative objects in the event of object failures and transparently reconnect client to the object. The filtering range of Fk-means value is set only to include relevant objects within the group to perform the search method efficiently. The simulation result shows that the proposed mechanism provides fast and accurate search for the distributed object groups.
