Analysis on the performance of mobile agents for query retrieval

The factors that affect the performance of mobile agents in retrieving information from the Internet are the number of agents and the total of routing time taken by the participated agents to complete the assigned tasks. Fewer numbers of mobile agents used to execute the tasks will cause lower ne...
