Mobile agent computing is being used in fields as diverse as
artificial intelligence, computational economics and robotics.
Agents' ability to adapt dynamically and execute asynchronously and
autonomously brings potential advantages in terms of
fault-tolerance, flexibility and simplicity. This monograph focuses
on studying mobile agents as modelled in distributed systems
research and in particular within the framework of research
performed in the distributed algorithms community. It studies the
fundamental question of how to achieve rendezvous, the gathering of
two or more agents at the same node of a network. Like leader
election, such an operation is a useful subroutine in more general
computations that may require the agents to synchronize, share
information, divide up chores, etc. The work provides an
introduction to the algorithmic issues raised by the rendezvous
problem in the distributed computing setting. For the most part our
investigation concentrates on the simplest case of two agents
attempting to rendezvous on a ring network. Other situations
including multiple agents, faulty nodes and other topologies are
also examined. An extensive bibliography provides many pointers to
related work not covered in the text. The presentation has a
distinctly algorithmic, rigorous, distributed computing flavor and
most results should be easily accessible to advanced undergraduate
and graduate students in computer science and mathematics
departments. Table of Contents: Models for Mobile Agent Computing /
