As RFID tag prices have rapidly been declining because of the advance of RFID technology, each tag is attached to an individual item, not a packing box only, for managing the item much more precisely. However, some mechanisms are essential to handle a very large amount of tag data quickly because readers and middlewares processing RFID data have limited hardware resources. In this paper, we design and implement a new mobile agent-based distributed software tools to satisfy this requirement efficiently. These tools provide a convenient environment enabling required data to be pre-processed repeatedly in transit by transferring a mobile agent including its specified data collection policy to numerous mobile readers. This behavior can significantly reduce the elapsed time required for processing huge volumes of tag data at the readers and middlewares with their very high recognition rates compared with the existing one to process the data by fixed readers after having arrived at the destination

The current sensor network analyzes the data collected by the sensing of fixed sensor nodes and provides a service. However, this method cannot actively handle the state and the change in the position of people, 'the target for sensing and the change in the environment', including home automation, building automation and real-time road & weather information, and healthcare environment, etc. To support a dynamic situation which is appropriate for an individual in this diverse environment, it is necessary to provide actively differentiated specific information according to the movement of people and the changes in the environment. In this study, a individualized sensor mobile agent middleware which provides the individualized information (the location of fire incidence and the trace for the path of spread), has been realized through the sensor network environment constructed by the installation of wireless sensor nodes mounted with mobile agent middlewares in buildings.

최근 인터넷 이용이 증가하면서 원격 교육자료, 전자상거래용 자료 등 여러 이용자가 사용하는 자료를 하나의 서버가 아니라 분산된 형태로 나누어 관리하는 것이 통신량을 줄이기 위해 점차 중요시되고 있다. 특히 멀티미디어 자료는 데이터 량이 많으므로 이용자에게 가까운 서버에 분산 관리하는 것이 더욱 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CORBA 표준을 따르는 미들웨어를 사용하여 인터넷으로 상호 연결된 임의의 시스템에 자료를 분산 관리할 수 있는 분산형 자료 관리 시스템 DDM(Distributed Data Manager)을 구축하였다. DDM은 크게 나누어 사용자 관리, 데이터 관리, 시스템 상태 관리 기능을 제공하며 단순히 분산 자료의 위치만을 관리하는 것이 아니라, 자료를 종류별 또는 용도별로 통합된 category를 관리한다. DDM은 분산 자료의 통합관리와 시스템 상태 관리를 위해서 주 에이전트(Primary Agent, 이하 PA)와, 이용자에게 직접 서비스를 제공하는 보조 에이전트(Local Agent, 이하 LA)를 중심으로 구성된다. DDM은 모든 자료에 대한 현재 상태를 관리하는데, 자료의 등록, 수정, 삭제 등의 요구가 보조 에이전트를 통하여 실시간으로 이루어지며 자료의 통합 관리와 백업 관리는 주 에이전트가 담당한다. 한편 DDM는 자바와 JDBC를 사용하여 구축함으로써 임의의 플랫폼과 데이터베이스를 이용할 수 있게 하였다.

Nowadays, the interests in travel are increasing with the changes into the ubiquitous computing environments, hence, our location-based travel information service system would be potentially invaluable to graft the Internet business models. Most of existing travel information services are provided in a one-way push manner from the contents providers to users, and they have drawbacks of enforcing users to search their needed information with the general Web surfing. Therefore, this paper propose the travel information system for gathering user information and for providing services that satisfy user requirements by filtering based on these information.

The ubiquitous middleware configurated an aggregation of the various services. The services are made in different languages and the various services that are dynamically changing environment are carried out in collaboration service. The ubiquitous system that services in the these environment is required appropriate response to real-time system and reliability. In this paper, we suggest the monitoring agent that a monitoring system added or removed the services in real-time is made continuous monitoring in run-time environment and guaranteed performance and reliability of a application by maximally reducing overhead that combined with applications is occurred. The suggested scheme shows the demonstration to fit the scenario situation and verifies function and performance of monitoring about the service applications through the experiment.

In this paper, we propose the active rule system applying with emotional margin for power saving control. The proposed system in this paper is a part of the system which derives smart power saving by adjusting the illuminance using active rules within compromising the user's emotion. For this, we set the specific range of standard illuminance and the lower bound of user's emotional margin of illuminance based on measurements and analysis, and use these data in design of active rules. And then, we design and implement the active rule system using mobile agent. The mobile agent in the proposed system migrates to the destination sensor nodes, acquires and transmits sensor data according to the purpose and needs through the active rules, and directly executes the actions corresponding to the optional events(changed sensor data and/or time etc.). And then, we show the potential applicability of the proposed active rule system in various active sensor network applications through the interaction with the rule base and mobile sensor network middleware system.

This paper proposed about a load-balanced multi-agent model in mobile distribution environment to monitor moving patients and to deal with a situation of emergency. This model was designed to have a structure based on distribution framework by expanding a mobile system, and provides healthcare services based on real time situational information on moving patients. In order to overcome the limitation of middleware when we design system, we provided an abstract layer between applications and their base network infrastructure so that balance between QoS requests and network life can be maintained. In addition, clustering was used in cells for the efficient load distribution among multi-agents. By using Clustering FCM, we got optimal resources and had solve about transmission delay.

에이전트 시스템(agent system) 관련 기술은 이질적이고 분산된 환경에서 상호 운용성(interoperability)을 확보하기 위한 방법이 될 수 있다. 이런 에이전트 시스템의 국제 표준화를 진행해 나가고 있는 단체인 FIPA(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents)는 1996년 에 형성되었고, 이질적인 시스템간의 상호 운용성을 최대화하기 위해서 국제적으로 인정된 명세서를 정기적으로 발표하고 있다. 하지만 최근까지 FIPA 표준안은 모바일 ad-hoc네트워크와 같은 환경을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 환경에서 에이전트는 이질적인 네트워크들에서 제공하는 서비스들을 이용할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점에 초점을 맞추어 본 논문에서는 FIPA 표준을 참고하여 만든 FIPA-OS(Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents Open Source) 를 수정한 에이전트 플랫폼을 제공한다. 우리는 이러한 에이전트 플랫폼을 이용하여 이질적인 환경에서 제공하는 서비스들에 대한 상호운용성과 에이전트 플랫폼 안에 DM(Discovery Middleware)을 추가하여 확장성을 보장한다. DM은 에이전트가 ad-hoc 네트워크 안에서 동작하는 서비스 디스커버리 기법들을 사용하여 서비스들을 찾고 생성할 수 있게 도와준다. 우리는 다양한 서비스 디스커버리 기법 중 UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)와 LSD (Lightweight Service Discovery Protocol)를 이용하여 DM을 구현하였다. UPnP는 UPnP 포럼에서 개발된 서비스 디스커버리를 위한 프로토콜의 집합이며 LSD는 우리가 만든 모바일 ad-hoc 네트워크에서 동작하는 새로운 서비스 디스커버리 프로토콜로 캐쉬 관리를 강조하여 개발하였다. 우리가 제안하는 DM을 이용하여 수정된 에이전트 플랫폼에서 UPnP와 LSD의 장비에서 제공되는 서비스들을 상호간 이용 할 수 있다.

The CORBA provides a object-oriented middleware that lets applications extend their range across networks, languages, component boundaries, and operating systems. Java can provide a potable object that works in any operating system. Mapping Java into CORBA helps large scale information system operate through the Web by using the mobile code property of Java and object component technique of CORBA. This development environment is called the Object Web. This paper proposes an architecture of OSI network management with a CORBA manager using Object Web and an CORBA/CMIS gateway which apply a CMIS-level gateway model to gateway. In this architecture, CORBA manager is based on Object Web and can manage MOs in the OSI domain. The gateway has a role to translate CORBA IDLs into CMIS services and vice versa. In addition, an OSI agent is abstracted into a CORBA agent.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) environments, sensors and sensor nodes, and coming from heterogeneous sensor networks consist of one another, the characteristics of each component are also very diverse. Thus the sensor and the sensor nodes to interoperability between metadata for a single definition, management is very important. For this, the standard language for modeling sensor SensorML (Sensor Model Language) has. In this paper, sensor devices, sensor nodes and sensor networks for information technology in the application stage XMDR-DAI -based metadata to define the USN. The proposed XMDR-DAI USN based store and retrieve metadata for a method for effectively agent technology. Metadata of the proposed sensor is based SensorML USN environment by maintaining interoperability 50-200 USN middleware or a metadata management system for managing metadata in applications can be utilized directly.
