Abstract
A rapid growth of available geospatial data requires development of systems capable of autonomous data retrieval, integration and validation. Mobile agent technology may provide a suitable framework for developing such systems since this technology can deal, in a natural way, with the distributed heterogeneous nature of the data. We evaluate our novel multi-agent architecture for geospatial data integration and compare its performance with a client/server and a single-agent architecture. We analyze the performance alteration for various numbers of participating nodes, amount of database accesses, processing loads, and network loads.
