| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This work address an approach to make distributed systems flexible and robust. Distributed systems are dynamic by nature like biological systems. To support various and unknown changes in distributed systems, we need a novel approach for managing distributed systems. Biological mecahnisms are useful to such an approach. It supports the notions of differentiation and dedifferentiation in cellular slime molds. When a service delegates a function to another component coordinating with it, if the former has the function, this function becomes less-developed and the latter's function becomes well-developed. When some differentiated services are not available, it enables remaining services to automatically support the functions provided from the unavailable services. The approach was constructed as a middleware system and allowed us to define general-purpose agents as Java objects. The proposed approach has academic and practical contributions.
