Agentic Architecture Pattern: Mobile Agent

Pattern 85: Mobile Agent Pattern – Line-by-Line Explanation

Overview

This pattern implements mobile agents that can migrate between execution environments, carrying their state and logic. It includes intelligent routing, load balancing, state serialization, and LLM-powered migration decisions.

    requirements=[]
)

result1 = pattern.execute_with_migration(
    "agent1",
    task1,
    strategy=MigrationStrategy.LOAD_BALANCED
)

Explanation: Execute task with load balancing. Agent migrates from env1 (load=0.3) to env3 (load=0.2) since it’s less loaded.

Scenario 3: Capability-Based Migration

agent2 = pattern.create_agent("agent2", "env1")

def gpu_task(data: Dict) -> Dict:
    # Simulated GPU computation
    return {"processed": True, "gpu_accelerated": True}

task2 = AgentTask(
    id="task2",
    code=gpu_task,
    data={"matrix": "large"},
    requirements=["gpu", "tensorflow"]
)

result2 = pattern.execute_with_migration(
    "agent2",
    task2,
    strategy=MigrationStrategy.CAPABILITY
)

Explanation: Task requires GPU. Agent migrates from env1 (no GPU) to env2 (has GPU + TensorFlow).

Scenario 4: Intelligent LLM-Based Migration

agent3 = pattern.create_agent("agent3", "env2")

def memory_intensive_task(data: Dict) -> Dict:
    return {"memory_used": "high", "completed": True}

task3 = AgentTask(
    id="task3",
    code=memory_intensive_task,
    data={"large_dataset": True},
    requirements=["high_memory"]
)

result3 = pattern.execute_with_migration(
    "agent3",
    task3,
    strategy=MigrationStrategy.INTELLIGENT
)

Explanation: LLM analyzes: – Current: env2 (GPU, expensive $0.50/hour, high load 0.6) – Task needs: high memory – env3 has high_memory, lower cost ($0.15/hour), lower load (0.2) – Decision: Migrate to env3 (better match, cheaper, less loaded)


Migration Strategy Comparison

Strategy Decision Basis Use Case
LOAD_BALANCED Current load Distribute work evenly
PROXIMITY Geographic location Minimize network latency
CAPABILITY Required features Match task to hardware
COST Price per hour Optimize cloud spending
INTELLIGENT LLM analysis Complex multi-factor decisions

Key Design Patterns

  1. Strategy Pattern: Different migration strategies
  2. State Pattern: Agent status management
  3. Memento Pattern: State serialization for migration
  4. Proxy Pattern: Agent acts as proxy in remote environment
  5. Observer Pattern: Migration history tracking

Performance Considerations

  • Serialization: O(state_size) – pickle is fast but grows with state
  • Migration: O(network_latency + deserialization) – typically 10-100ms
  • Decision (Rule-Based): O(environments) – scan all options
  • Decision (LLM): O(LLM) – ~1-2 seconds
  • Execution: O(task_complexity) – depends on task

Best Practices: – Minimize agent state size (only essentials) – Use compression for large states (gzip before base64) – Batch migrate multiple agents to same destination – Cache LLM decisions for similar scenarios – Consider migration cost vs execution time savings – Use load balancing for homogeneous tasks – Use capability matching for specialized tasks

When to Migrate: – Migration time << execution time savings – Task requires unavailable capabilities – Current environment overloaded – Cost savings justify overhead

Extension Points

  1. Add checkpointing during long-running tasks
  2. Implement secure migration with encryption
  3. Add fault tolerance (retry, rollback)
  4. Support partial migration (leave state, move code)
  5. Add network-aware routing (bandwidth, latency)
  6. Implement agent cloning for parallel execution
  7. Add environment auto-scaling based on agent demand
  8. Support heterogeneous code (not just Python)
