Abstract
This paper presents an approach to recovering distributed applications, which consist of software agents running on different computers from drastic damages by disasters. The approach is inspired from regeneration mechanisms in living things, e.g., tails of lizards. When an agent delegates a function to another agent coordinating with it, if the former has the function, this function becomes less-developed and the latter’s function becomes well-developed like differentiation processes in cells. It can also initialize and restart differentiated software agents, when some agents cannot be delegated like regeneration processes. It is constructed as a general-purpose and practical middleware system for software agents on real distributed systems consisting of embedded computers or sensor nodes.
