A multi-agent-based distributed computing environment for bioinformatics applications

The process of bioinformatics computing consumes huge computing resources, in
situation of difficulty in improvement of algorithm and high cost of mainframe, many
scholars choice distributed computing as an approach for reducing computing time. When
using distributed computing for bioinformatics, how to find a properly tasks allocation
strategy among different computing nodes to keep load-balancing is an important issue. By
adopting multi-agent system as a tool, system developer can design tasks allocation strategies
through intuitional view and keep load-balancing among computing nodes.
The purpose of our research work is using multi-agent system as an underlying tool to
develop a distributed computing environment and assist scholars in solving bioinformatics
computing problem, In comparison with public computing projects such as BOINC, our
research work focuses on utilizing computing nodes deployed inside organization and
connected by local area network.
