When mobile node moves into the different IP address area, the mobile node can be set the proper environment parameters automatically by DHCP. If we extend the DHCP option field to support the roles of home agent and foreign agent in mobile IP protocol, mobile node can perform the foreign address registration process of mobile IP protocol when DHCP IP environment is achieved automatically, too. DHCP is supplied in the PC with a series of Windows NT. This paper proposes and implements the functional blocks of extended DHCP nodes and this enables the DHCP node have a role of mobile IP agents without another protocol functional blocks.

본 논문은 다중 이동 에이전트 시스템을 이용한 웹 지리 정보 시스템 모델을 제안한다. 방대한 지리 정보를 분산 병렬처리하기 위해서 호스트간을 이주하고 네트워크 환경에서 효율적으로 수행하는 이동 에이전트를 사용한다. 제안하는 모델은 사용자와 상호작용하고 에이전트를 생성하여 이주시키며 웹 브라우저에 플러그 인 되는 HAP(home agent platform)과 GIS 서버에서 지리객체를 검색하는 iMAP(internet mobile agent)으로 구성된다. 성능 평가는 클라이언트/서버 모델과 이동 에이전트 모델간의 성능 비교를 통해서 보여준다.

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.

Recently, researches of mobile agent systems have done actively to enhance usability of heterogenenous environment linked via network and to solve problems of existing distributed-object computing. Though these research and development many studies have done to be applicated to many areas that are existing distributed systems as well as E-commerce, network maintenance, and information retrieval etc. This paper reviews some related issues to agent studies, comprehensive studies to enhance telecommunication functionality among agents, and future and application fields of agent.

Inthis paper, we present an efficient migration strategy of mobile agent for data mining application. The purpose of the proposed algorithm is to set up the best migration plan of mobile agent with regard to minimizing network execution time .In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we designed a performance evaulation model for three paradigms from data mining, i.e. RPC, mobile agent and mobile agent with locker pattern, and we then evaluated the algorithm by simulation.

There has been much research efforts trying to integrate mobile IP that has been proposed to guarantee the mobility of mobile nodes on MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) and wired integrated networks. To support the mobility service of nodes in MIPMANET, this paper proposes MAAM(Mobility Agent Advertisement Mechanism) and AMAAM protocols. In MAAM, the mobility agent of the mobile IP can maintain the information of ad hoc networks by broadcasting advertisement messages periodically. AMAAM(Aggregation based Mobility Agent Advertisement Mechanism) is an enhancement of MAAM for reducing the number of transmission of advertisement messages by aggregating them. The proposed schemes are applied in MIPMANET for agent advertisement mechanism. For the performance evaluation of both protocols, we simulated them by NS2. We evaluate the protocols by ns2 with such performance metrics as packet delivery ratio, transmission throughput, and energy consumption.

In this paper, we propose a migration technique for autonomous mobile agents suitable to dynamic environments. The proposed migration technique dynamically creates the itinerary of agents that considers states of networks and systems. In the migration of the agent, it first sends prefetching message to the next system. The system receives necessary data for migration in advance. Through this, we reduce the amount of the sending data and save the time for creating the instance of the agent. And it improves the execution efficiency by using the checkpoint-based recovery method that does not execute the agent again and recovers the process states even though the errors take place. To show superiority of the proposed technique, we compare the proposed method with the existing methods through various simulations.

This paper is a study on the design and implementation of cooperative monitoring agent using mobile agent for educational portal site. Generally educational portal sites have many addresses of teachers homepage. Therefore, portal site has a very difficult task with maintaining a consistent address of site and administration of portal is impossible while to be on the search for all dead sites. In order to overcome this problem, we designed and implemented a mutual cooperative monitoring agent in order to filter off dead site using mobile agent. The monitoring agent applies at Korean educational portal site (KEPS) for elementary student and makes an experiment efficient. Finally a cooperative mobile agent is compared with a stationary monitoring agent.

For the activeness and autonomy of a sensor network, the efficient migration method of a mobile agent and the consistent naming services are the required components of a sensor network. Accordingly, this paper presented the implementation of backward migration of an active rule mobile agent applying the naming method based on RMI that used the meta_table including the informations about the components of a sensor network. This study implemented based on the extension of the forward migration[12], and the results of the various experiments present the efficacy of mobile agent middleware system and the possibility of constructing efficient sensor network application environment. And, the results of this study are able to enhance the adaptability on dynamic changes of environment in sensor network application development.

We focus on the mobile agents which are considered as new paradigm to solve information retrieval of large volumes of data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment. The mobile agent moves the computation to data instead of large volumes of data to computations. In this paper, we propose an information retrieval model, which can effectively search data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment, using mobile agents. Our model is applied to the design and implementation of an Q&A(Question and Answer) retrieval system. Our Q&A retrieval system, called QASSMA(Q&A Search System using Mobile Agents), uses mobile agents to retrieve articles from Q&A boards and newsgroups that exist in the heterogeneous and distributed environment. QASSMA has the following features and advantages. First, the mobile retrieval agent moves to the destination server to retrieve articles to reduce the retrieval time by eliminating data traffics from the server to the client host. Also it can reduce the traffic that was occurred in the centralized network system, and reduce the usage of resources by sending its agent and running in the destination host. Finally, the mobile retrieval agent of QASSMA can add and update dynamically the class file according to its retrieval environment, and support other retrieval manner. In this paper, we have shown that our Q&A retrieval system using mobile agents is more efficient than the retrieval system using static agents by our experiments.
