Benchmarking MA Systems
Micro-benchmarks: short codes designed to isolate and measure performance properties of basic “behaviors” of mobile-agent-based systems for typical system configurations.
Micro-kernels: short, synthetic codes designed to measure and investigate performance properties of software-model implementations, for typical applications and system configurations.
Application kernels: instantiations of micro-kernels for particular application domains and for typical workloads derived from the TPC-W (Web Commerce) specification.
