Abstract
This paper addresses the issue involved in dependability of distributed mobile agents in the Internet environment. We propose an architectural framework for the Internet applications making mobile agents into fault-tolerant. The replication of agents and data is of great importance to achieve fault tolerance in distributed systems over the Internet. This research focuses on the replication component for the proposed fault-tolerant mobile agent framework. We present and analyze the performance results obtained when doing simulation study on the effects of the degree of replication, the active and passive replication strategies, and the replication scale.
