In Integrated Services Internet the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) provides a signaling mechanism for end to end QoS. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme using a Hierarchical Mobile Agents Tree (HMAT) based on the definition of new option called QoS Object Option (QOO) in order to improve the efficiency during handoff in Integrated Services Internet. Mobile agents are required to manage QOO, resource reservation and other mobility related basks un behalf of mobile hosts. This scheme is based on Mobile IPv6.

An effective paging strategy is essential for improving the utility of radio channels. This paper proposes a two-step paging strategy which involves using base station paging agents to page a single cell at each paging. An analytical model is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The proposed strategy is compared with the traditional simultaneous paging strategy and a recent proposal using the base station paging agents. The numerical results showed that the proposed strategy proficiently reduces paging cost on radio channels compared with other paging strategies.

최근 IETF mobileip 워킹 그룹은 Mobile IPv6의 보안 문제를 가장 중요하게 다루고 있고, 홈 에이전트와 이동 노드는 IPsec을 적용하여 인터넷 보안을 제공하고, 상대 노드와 이동 노드는 RR과정으로 서로를 인증 할 수 있는 표준안을 제출하였다. 이동 노드는 자신의 흠 주소를 획득하여 인터넷 연결의 이동성을 보장받기 위하여 특정 라우터에게 홈 에이전트를 등록하고 흠 에이전트와 이동 노드는 IPsec 적용을 위한 보안 연계 정보를 교환할 수 있어 IPsec 적용이 가능하다. 반면 상대 노드와 이동 노드와 IPsec을 적응하기 위해서는 이동 단말기의 한계 및 IPsec 프로세싱의 부하로 RR과정을 통하여 상호 인증하는 메커니즘을 채택하였다. 본 고는 Mobile IPv6 환경에서 홈 에이전트와 이동노드사이에 IPsec 적용 방안을 위한 보안 연계 및 보안 정책 관리 방향을 제시한다.

Many multicast applications, such as video-on-demand and video conferencing, desire quality of service (QoS) support from an underlying network. The differentiated services (DiffServ) approach will bring benefits for theses applications. However, difficulties arise while integrating native IP multicasting with DiffServ, such as multicast group states in the core routers and a heterogeneous QoS requirement within the same multicast group. In addition, a missing per-flow reservation in DiffServ and a dynamic join/leave in the group introduce heavier and uncontrollable traffic in a network. In this paper, we propose a distributed and stateless admission control in the edge routers. We also use a mobile agents-based approach for dynamic resource availability checking. In this approach, mobile agents act in a parallel and distributed fashion and cooperate with each other in order to construct the multicast tree satisfying the QoS requirements.

We introduce the idea of a forward-secure undetachable digital signature (FS-UDS) in this paper, which enables mobile agents to generate undetachable digital signatures with forward security of the original signer's signing key. The definition and security notion of an FS-UDS scheme are given. Then, the construction of a concrete FS-UDS scheme is proposed; and the proof of security for the proposed scheme is also provided. In the proposed scheme, mobile agents need not carry the signing key when they generate digital signatures on behalf of the original signer, so the signing key will not be compromised. At the same time, the encrypted function is combined with the original signer's requirement; therefore, misuse of the signing algorithm can be prevented. Furthermore, in the case where a hacker has accessed the signing key of the original signer, he/she is not able to forge a signature for any time period prior to when the key was obtained.

The Mobile agent-based distributed systems become obtaining significant popularity as a potential vehicle to allow software components to be executed on heterogeneous environments despite mobility of users and computations. However, as these systems generally force mobile agents to use only common functionalities provided in every execution environment, the agents may not access environment-specific resources. In this paper, we propose a new framework using Aspect Oriented Programming technique to accommodate a variety of static resources as well as dynamic ones whose amount is continually changed at runtime even in the same execution environment. Unlike previous works, this framework divides roles of software developers into three groups to relieve application programmers from the complex and error prone parts of implementing dynamic adaptation and allowing each developer to only concentrate on his own part. Also, the framework enables policy decision makers to apply various adaptation policies to dynamically changing environments for adjusting mobile agents to the change of their resources.

A context-aware services platform supporting mobile agents consists of sensor nodes and a sensor coordinator. Sensor nodes collect environmental information and transmit the collected information to the sensor coordinator through wireless sensor networks. The sensor coordinator passes the information to the context-aware service module, and the mobile agent. The context-aware service module or the mobile agent performs services suitable for a user's situation based on the environmental information and a service actuation message is delivered to an actuation node through the sensor coordinator. In this paper, we present a context-aware services platform structure employed in our project, and describe context-aware services platform interfaces with a context-aware service module and mobile agents.

Recently mobile SFA(Sales Force Automation) system makes rapidly progress specially in industries like insurance, manufacture, and distribution. However, there are some problems that information about products and trades is not promptly shared among sales agents or customers, since the current mobile SFA system has simply extended the existing systems for sales management. In order to improve these weaknesses, we introduce LBS(Location Based Service) and mobile P2P(Peer to Peer) service into the existing systems, then design and implement the enhanced system (or mobile SFA using them. Through this improvement, our system makes it possible for customers or sales agents to quickly share various information and increases the efficiency of sales activity by facilitating the competition and cooperation among sales agents and reducing time-cost.

Recently, robotic automation in clinical laboratory becomes of keen interest as a fusion of bio and robotic technology. In this paper, we present a new robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small or medium sized laboratories using mobile robots. The mobile robot called Mobile Agent is designed as transfer system of blood samples, reagents, microplates, and any instruments. Also, the developed mobile agent can perform diverse tests simultaneously based on its cooperative and distributed ability. The driving circuits for the mobile agent are embedded in the robot, and each mobile agent communicates with other agents by using Bluetooth communication. The RFID system is used to recognize patient information. Also, the magnetic hall sensor is embedded to remove and compensate the cumulated error of locomotion at the bottom of mobile agent. The proposed mobile agent can be easily used for various applications because it is designed to be compatible with general software development tools. The Mobile agents are manufactured, and feasibility of the robot and localization of the agents using magnetic hall sensor are validated by preliminary experiments.

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.
