Accomplishing, Reasoning and Improvement of Vendor Reliant and Self Reliant Second Layer Network Topology Exploration

Agent network topology is one of the fundamental issues in the multi-agent area. Different from existing network topological theory, such as LAN or distributed system networks, agent network topology emphasizes communications and transactions between agents. Mobility and intelligence issues are major concerns in agent network topologies and these have not received much attention. In this paper, we illustrate the experimental results of agent network topologies based on our recently developed Agent-based Open Connectivity for Decision support systems (AOCD), in which concurrency control, mobility and intelligence issues have been considered. Our experimental results reflect some factors that impact on the performances of agent network topologies.
