Central Service Registry Sample Clauses

Central Service Registry. The final centralised location approach goes one step further, such that the central reg- istry does not just track each agent, but also the services offered by each agent, in a similar fashion to the matchmaker concept introduced by Xxx-Xxx and Xxxxxxx [8]. We call this the central service registry. This converts the central registry into a complete black box, such that an agent can request an instance of a particular service, and the registry responds with the identity of an agent that offers the required service. When the central registry receives a request, it checks its records for an agent that offers the required service. Of all the agents that offer the required service, one agent is selected, and its identity is returned to the requesting agent. As the central service registry locally stores information about all services, the location process is significantly faster, since only two messages need to be sent to locate a ser- vice (taking two time steps). However the central registry’s computational load and communication costs increase significantly compared to the previous two centralised ap- proaches because the registry must store potentially large amounts of information about each agent. When the central service registry is queried, it must search through this large data store, and if the system’s agent population is dynamic then the central ser- vice registry must expend time and effort in ensuring that its information on agents and services is kept up-to-date. Such additional pressure on the central registry is not apparent when considering service location time.

Central Service Registry. ‌ Our final experiment in this chapter evaluates task completion time when using a cen- tralised service registry to locate services. Because the central registry maintains infor- mation about all agents, and the services they offer, it can return the identity of an agent that is guaranteed to offer the requested service. In addition, because this information is local, service location time is consistently two time steps, as shown in Figure 5.1, and as all services are located in the same amount of time, there is no distribution to show. The tasks that require services can also be allocated much earlier so, as before, all changes in performance occur more quickly, though ultimately all results in this respect are the same as isolated requests and sessions (agent load, Figure 5.4; number of overloaded agents, Figure 5.8; waiting for capacity time, Figure 5.9). However, this approach requires a significant amount of work from the central registry that is not immediately apparent when evaluating service location time, and waiting for capacity time. First, storing information about each agent in the system can require a large amount of memory depending on the number of agents in the system, and the number of services they offer. Second, ensuring that this information is up-to-date requires constant maintenance. Though this approach can achieve extremely low service location time, the extra load placed on the central registry to achieve this increases the problem of the registry being a significant bottleneck.
