Most of conventional mobile agent systems requre that the users or the programmer should give the mobile agenl its detail behavioral script for accomplishing the given task. And during its runtime, such mobile agents just behave acording to the fixed script given by its user. Therefore it is impossible that conventional mobile agents autonomously build their own plans and execute. There in considering their ultirnale goals and the dynamic world states. One way to overcome such limtations of conventional mobile agent systems is to develop an mielligent mobile agent system ombedding a reactive planner.In this paper, we design both a modelof agent inobility and a model of inter-agent commuication based upon the representative reactive planning agent architecture called JAM. An then we develop an intelligent mobile agent system with planing capability, IMAS, by implementing addtional basic actions for agent moves and inter-agent comunication within JAM according too the predevined models. Unlike conventional mobile agents, IMAS agents can be able to adapt, their behaviors to the dynamic changes of their anvironment as well as build their own plans autonomously. Thus IMAS aents can snow higher flexibility and robustness than the conventional ones.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are self-organized networks that typically consist of thousands of low-cost, low-powered sensor nodes. The reliability and availability of WSNs can be affected by faults, including those from radio interference, battery exhaustion, hardware and software failures, communication link errors, malicious attacks, and so on. Thus, we propose a novel multi-agent fault tolerant system for wireless sensor networks. Since a major requirement of WSNs is to reduce energy consumption, we use multi-agent and mobile agent configurations to manage WSNs that provide energy-efficient services. Mobile agent architecture have inherent advantages in that they provide energy awareness, scalability, reliability, and extensibility. Our multi-agent system consists of a resource manager, a fault tolerance manager and a load balancing manager, and we also propose fault-tolerant protocols that use multi-agent and mobile agent setups.

In this paper, we describe the vulnerabilities against mobile agent and analyze existing schemes to cope with them. Also we propose a new scheme which protects the executed information by mobile agent and simultaneously traces the executions of mobile agent. The proposed scheme provides non-repudiation between participations for the executions of mobile agent, forward integrity against modification and protection against code insertion or deletion attack.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the network management system with intelligent mobile agent system. The proposed system dynamically selects appropriate its destinations. Thus, the system has an advantage of flexible network management in mobile network environments as well as dynamic change of traffic. Comparing its delay and throughput performance with the conventional SNMP based network management system, we find that the proposed mobile agent system performs better efficiency than the conventional one.

Mobile IP는 이동노드(Mobile node)들에게 이동성 서비스를 지원하기 위해 제안된 것으로 이동노드가 자신의 IP주소를 이용하여 현재 위치에 관계없이 이동성 에이전트(mobility Agent)메 등록함으로 인터넷에 접근 할 수 있는 프로토콜이다. 애드 혹 네트워크는 하부구조 없이 이동노드들 끼리 패킷을 교환 할 수 있는 네트워크이다. 본 논문에서는 Mobile IP의 에이전트가 주기적으로 에이전트 광고 메시지를 전달하여 자신의 서비스 영역 내부에 있는 애드 혹 네트워크의 이동노드들에게 인터넷에 접속할 수 있는 MAAM (Mobility Agent Advertisement Mechanism) 및 AMAAM(Aggregation based Mobility Agent Advertisement Mechanism)을 제안한다.

A mobile agent system is an infrastructure that supports the mobile agent paradigm. The main challenges encountered in designing this infrastructure are discussed in this paper. After introducing a generic mobile agent system, we discuss the design issues at two levels. System level issues like the provision of agent mobility and security, are mainly encountered in developing the runtime environments for agent execution. Language level issues, such as agent programming models and primitives, arise in providing support for mobile agent programming, mainly at the library level. This paper Identifies such system and language-level issues, and illustrates the different ways developers ate addressing them. We outline the specific challenges addressed by this dissertation, primarily in the area of mobile agent security.

Mobile agent is a software program that provides autonomy and mobility for the users in the networked computers by deciding its own movement place. Since mobile agent does not keep up the network connection and migrate its executable code under its own control, it can be often used in the unstable network conditions such as the wireless network and the heavy traffic network. In this paper, we show that the electronic commerce system can be developed efficiently to retrieve and trade the goods in the mobile computing environment by using the mobile agent paradigm. Multiple mobile agents migrate into the market directly, then negotiate and trade autonomously relevant goods and services. The execution result and executable code of the mobile agent are returned to the home place and reported to the users. We show that the mobile agent paradigm is suitable to build the mobile electronic commerce system by designing and prototyping the mobile market system.

The developers of mobile agent systems are considering integrating the system into the web and the developers of web servers are also considering supporting mobile agents in the future. But they are not clearly suggesting the relationship between web programming which has basically client/server architecture and mobile agent programming which is based on autonomous code mobility. In this paper, firstly, we clarify the method for integrating mobile agent programming into web programming by suggesting the model for mobile agent programming on the web. Secondly, by developing APIs for Java which is widely used for both web programming and mobile agent programming, we made it possible for programmers to use them for programming mobile agent on the web. Thirdly, we show the usefulness of the proposed model by adding and testing modules for execution environment of mobile agents on W3C's Java based web server, Jigsaw.

As the mobile terminal which uses P2P service increases and it comes to be applied to many fields, mobile agent technology has been applied to P2P and its innovative services has been offered to various fields. However, free mobility of mobile agent technology works like worm, the problem which is contaminated by malicious attacker's attack quickly has appeared and fundamental solution has not been developed yet. This paper proposes STAS (Security Tracking and Auditing Server) system which can offer verification for security of mobile agent in structured P2P environments. Mobile Agent will send data value to STAS via peer so that STAS can verify secure audit and integrity and Mobile agent initiator will obtain the final value of the data from STAS. It can minimize overload of mobile terminal which is occurred by verification of mobile agent and its accomplishment.
