Software Agent and Data Marker for Data Synchronization in Integrated Systems

Synchronizations on multiple information systems have not been effective in updating data because there is no synchronization automation, resulting in each synchronization process having to perform the entire data collection repeatedly and the data mapping process taking quite long. This paper proposes a method combining software agents and timestamp data markers to carry out synchronizations more effectively. Our experiments indicate that consistency modified data after synchronizations between systems is successfully maintained using manual and agent marker synchronizations. However, the required synchronization time is much different. Experiments are carried out by adding 10, 20, 50, and 100 data records for each service. In student and teaching schedule services, the agent marker synchronization is faster for all numbers of added data records. For the lecturer service, the agent marker synchronization is faster for 10 and 20 data records, while for 50 and 100, the manual synchronization is faster.
