Abstract

The rapid growth of information technology and the Internet have given rise to an increasing demand for information services. A large number of service providers offer information services to diversified users on the Internet. Users' requirements are heterogeneous and change very quickly. Popular servers are overloaded and cannot dynamically adapt to meet users' heterogeneous requirements. It is necessary to design an information service system that can meet users' heterogeneous requirements for services, and to design in the adaptability of services to cope with ever-changing situations, to provide assurance. A faded information field architecture and push/pull mobile agent technologies have been proposed as basic components of an autonomous information service system to achieve these goals. The system has been proposed from the users' and providers' points of view, and therefore techniques for balancing users' and providers' costs are required for the realization of the system. The system leads to dynamic and autonomous information allocation, in which each node on the network may determine the amount of information based on the push/pull cost of the mobile agents. In this paper, we propose the initial construction of the faded information field based on providers' and users' heterogeneous reliability requirements. The through rate is used to reconstruct the faded information field dynamically and autonomously. We prove the effectiveness of the proposed technology through simulation.
