Achieving a balance between the demand for jobs of a certain kind and the supply of agents to perform these jobs is critical to system performance and stability. An insufficient number of agents forces jobs to accumulate over time, preventing the system from benefiting from the parallel nature of the networked MAS. On the other hand an excessive number of agents slow the system down with unnecessary processing and communications overhead. This problem is amplified if the agent system is running over a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), since such networks may be composed of lightweight devices that are restricted in terms of processing power, memory, available bandwidth and battery power.

Decentralized control makes a system more robust and less susceptible to partial failures. The problem is exacerbated on wireless ad hoc networks where host mobility can result in significant changes in the network size and topology. In this paper we propose an ecology-inspired approach to the management of the number of agents. The approach associates agents with living organisms and tasks with food. Agents procreate or die based on the abundance of uncompleted tasks (food). We performed a series of experiments investigating properties of such systems and analyzed their stability under various conditions. We concluded that the ecology based metaphor can be successfully applied to the management of agent populations on wireless ad hoc networks.

Mobile computing platforms such as PDAs and tablet PCs offer software designers great challenges to the design of survivable software applications. One of these challenges pertains to limited power resources. Processor loads,
