Abstract

This paper describes the functionalities and the implementation of a load balancing structure with fault tolerance characteristics to guarantee the survivability of a web service using intelligent agents technology. The developed agents are responsible for the automatic reconfiguration of a traffic load balancer for web servers by exchanging information related to availability and workload and using an ACL (agent communication language). The developed agents also monitor the load balancer and may assume its functions in case of failure and thus keeping the network service available with the objective of the network service survival.
