This paper proposes an adaptive inter-agent communication protocol to considerably reduce the amount of agent location information maintained by each service node and the message delivery time while avoiding the dependency of the home node of a mobile agent. To satisfy this goal, the protocol enables each mobile agent to autonomously leave its location information only on some few of its visiting nodes. Also, it may significantly reduce the agent cache updating frequency of each service node by keeping the identifier of the location manager of each agent in the smart agent location cache of the node. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol reduces about $76%{\sim}80%$ of message delivery overhead and about $76%{\sim}79%$ of the amount of agent location information each service node should maintain compared with the traditional one.

There are several application have been developed on internet-based speech recognition. Internet-based speech recognition is a distributed application and there were various techniques and methods have been using for that purposed. Currently, client-server paradigm was one of the popular technique that been using for client-server communication in web application. However, there is a new paradigm with the same purpose: mobile agent technology. Mobile agent technology has several advantages working on distributed internet-based system. This paper presents, applying mobile agent technology in internet-based speech recognition which based on client-server processing architecture.

헬스케어 응용서비스를 위란 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들은 주로 사람 또는 이동성을 가진 사물이며, 이들간의 상호작용을 통한 헬스케어 응용서비스를 지원하기 위해서는 노드의 동적 기능변경, 동적 자기구성, 에너지 효율성을 고려하여 개발되어야 한다. 이러한 요구사항들은 노드 상에 해당 기능을 수행하는 에이전트를 두어 대상의 이동에 따른 에이전트 전이를 통해 동적 기능변경을 수행 및 처리하고, 이동성을 지원하는 계층적 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용하여 노드의 이동에 따른 동적 자기구성, 제한된 에너지의 효율성 등을 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드간 에이전트 전이를 통해 동적 기능 변경을 보장하는 Agilla모델 기반 Healthcare Mobility Agent Middleware를 설계하고, 정보 전달의 효율성과 노드의 이동성을 보장하기 위해 LEACH 프로토콜 기반 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 여기서 제안하는 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜과 Healthcare Mobility Agent Middleware를 연동하기 위한 인터페이스와 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 수행하기 위한 라우팅 모듈을 설계하였다.

Recently, the Progress of computer environment has been changed from integration to distribution. This rapid progress makes several novel fields like Jini & Mobile Agent systems. Although these provided the new technology. but not used commonly. Because they have some problems. That is Jini has a problem of giving a heavy load on the service, and the Mobile Agent technology has not supported dynamically routing. This paper will Provide a design of Mobile Agent that routed dynamically, and propose a system which offers a service to client with giving low to the service.

We address an access control in the mobile agent-based workflow system. The Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is suitable to model the access control for business processes. However, current RBAC models are not adequate to mobile agent-based workflow system. Because separation of duties becomes complicated and it is impossible to perform several workflows at the same time. To solve these problems, we limit the scope of privilege within the specified task. We define considerations, specification of constraints needed in RBAC when tasks are involved. Also, we present an access control scenario and algorithms in the mobile agent-based workflow system.

본 논문에서는 기존의 IP 망에서 호스트의 이동성을 지원하기 위한 Mobile IP 개념을 ATM 망에 적용할 경우, Mobile IP망에서 Home Agent와 Foreign Agent 사이에 존재하는 Mobile-IP 터널링 구간을 기존의 LAN 기반의 IP 터널링 구간과 ATM 망에서의 단거리 터널링(short-cut tunneling) 구간으로 구분하여 관리하는 방안을 제안하였다. Short-cut 터널링을 설정하기 위하여 NHRP를 이용하였으며 Shot-cut 터널링을 이용함으로써 HA 와 FA 사이에 데이터 전달 지연을 기존의 IP 터널링에서의 데이터 전달 지연보다 줄일 수 있음을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

Mobile IP는 현재의 인터넷에서 노드가 링크를 변화시킬 때 통신이 지속 될 수 있도록 이동성(Mobility)을 제공하기 위한 방안이다. Mobile IP는 MN(Mobile Node)이 HA(Home Agent) 와 FA(Foreign Agent)사이에서 링크를 변화시킬 때 CN(Correspondent Node)과 지속적인 통신을 할 수 있도록 한다. 그러나 FA에서 FA로 MN이 노드의 위치를 바꿀 때에는 핸드오프(Handoff)가 발생하여 패킷이 손실 될 수도 있다. 본 논문은 MN이 FA에서 다른 FA로 이동할 때 발생하는 패킷 손실과 순서변경에 대한 경우를 살펴 이를 해결하기 위한 Seamless 핸드오프 프로토콜을 기술하고 이를 검증한다.

For the interoperability between workflow systems, we have proposed data exchange scenarios based on mobile agents. The scenarios include sequence diagrams and methods defined by UML. The mobile agents are designed based on the mobile agent standard MASIF developed by OMG.

One of powerful software paradigms for distributed systems is a mobile agent system. Since the usage of mobile agent systems is increased, a software development model to construct softwares efficiently for these systems is needed. Currently, UML is a widely used software development model. However, existing UML can not describe the necessary mobility of the mobile agent based software systems in explicit way. In this paper, the interaction diagrams of UML(sequence diagrams and communication diagrams) are extended and used to express the mobility of the mobile agents including the functions of platforms of mobile agent systems in three ways. For a case study, we applied the extended diagrams to a distributed file searching using mobile agents, and we confirmed these diagrams can describe the function and mobility of mobile agents very well.

Developing a personalized system on a user's behalf which is working around the Internet-based marketplace is one of the challenging issues in intelligent e-business, especially mobile commenrce. It has been highly recommended that such a mobile personalized system has to perceive the user's needs a priori by tracking user's current context such as location with activity and then to identify the current needs dynamically and proactively. Automatically and unobtrusively getting user's context is an inevitable feature for the development of autonomous mobile commenrce. However, personalization methodologies and their feasible architectures for context-aware mobile commerce have been so far very rare. Hence, this paper aims to propose a context-aware mobile commerce development methodology by applying agent and semantic web technologies for personalized reminder system, which is one of the mobile commerce support system. We revisited associationism to understand a buyer's need identification process and adopt the process as 'purchase based on association' to implement a personalized reminder system. Based on this approach, we have showed how the agent-based semantic web service system can be used to realize need-aware reminder system. NAMA(Need-Aware Multi-Agent), a prototype system, has been implemented to show the feasibility of the methodology and framework under mobile setting proposed in this paper. NAMA embeds bluetooth-based location tracking module and identify what a user is currently looking at through her/his mobile device such as PDA. Based on these capabilities, NAMA considers the context, user profile with preferences, and information about currently available services, to aware user's current needs and then link her/him to a set of services, which are implemented as web services.
