Agent based module for simulating mutual exclusion algorithms
In this paper, we were able to model and simulate mutual exclusion algorithms using an SMA approach. Mutual exclusion is one of the fundamental paradigms of distributed systems to ensure consistent access to resources shared between several entities in the system.
It ensures that not more than one entity can run a shared resource,
called the critical section (security property) and that any request for access to the critical section will be satisfied within a finite time (liveliness property). We have represented an agent as an entity of
the system in the modeling. The JADE platform is used for simulation mutual exclusion algorithms. Communication between agents present limits for resource management critical by a large
number of entities using the agent directory service. We were able to optimise the communication platform between our agents, defining message formats and proposing efficient data structures. Analysis of the results of the simulation shows the properties of the mutual exclusion algorithms are satisfactory.
