Mobile agent is one of the good technologies for overcoming network load and latency in distributed applications, and it may be a promising way of base technology of distributed applications because of its high adaptability for various network environments. In this paper, a mobile agent programming system, called HUMAN, is designed and implemented efficient use in various distributed applications based on mobile agents. HUMAN supports such high level utilities as file searhing, addressing by groups of nodes, storing path information, storing search information, and thus it gives us high easiness in agent-based programming. And it provides various itinerary modes and flexible reply modes for easy adaptation to given network environment. It also provides a management server for registering and active agents. Thus it can be efficiently applied for such varous distributed applications as searching distributed information, remote control, and file sharing in networks. A simple electronic commerce system is designed is designed and implemented as a HUMAN based illustrative application.

Mobility arises naturally in the Internet of Things networks, since the location of mobile objects, e.g., mobile agents, mobile software, mobile things, or users with wireless hardware, changes as they move. Tracking their current location is essential to mobile computing. To overcome the scalability problem, hierarchical architectures of location databases have been proposed. When location updates and lookups for mobile objects are localized, these architectures become effective. However, the network signaling costs and the execution number of database operations increase particularly when the scale of the architectures and the numbers of databases becomes large to accommodate a great number of objects. This disadvantage can be alleviated by a location caching scheme which exploits the spatial and temporal locality in location lookup. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical location caching scheme, which acclimates the existing location caching scheme to a hierarchical architecture of location databases. The performance analysis indicates that the adjustment of such thresholds has an impact on cost reduction in the proposed scheme.

The goal of this paper is to propose a way to register agents so that makes users or autonomousagents to find target agents more conveniently and efficiently. In order to achieve this goal, we first survey the key technologies such as UDDI, ebXML, FIPA DF. As the results, we designed a new agent legistry/repository system based on ebXML technologies. We introduce our agent/repository system for wide area network and describe how to use our system for agent registering and searching target agents for communications. Finally, we give an example to illustrate a typical scenario in which user receives the results from our proposed agent registry/repository system and evaluate its characteristics in terms of advantage.

In this paper, we address on the problem of automatic scheduling and motion generation of multiple mobile robots fur collecting material parts. We propose a model and so]union algorithm for the system. The formulated problem is divided into two kinds of problems; assignment problem and planning problem of robot motion. In this paper, several approaches to solution methods are presented and compared through computer simulation.

Realization of autonomous agents that organize their own internal structure in order to behave adequately with respect to their goals and the world is the ultimate goal of AI and Robotics. Reinforcement learning gas recently been receiving increased attention as a method for robot learning with little or no a priori knowledge and higher capability of reactive and adaptive behaviors. In this paper, we present a method of reinforcement learning by which a multi robots learn to move to goal. The results of computer simulations are given.

A simple method was developed for the analysis of seven stilbene-type fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) in paper materials by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. These stilbene-type FWAs included two disulfonate, two tetrasulfonate, and three hexasulfonate compounds. After optimization of chromatographic conditions, the FWAs were satisfactorily separated using a reversed-phase column (RP-18) with the following isocratic mobile phase: methanol-water (60:40) containing 17.5 mM TBABr and 10 mM citrate buffer (pH = 7.0). The calibration plot was linear in the range from 5 to 500 ng/mL for two disulfo-FWAs and from 1 to 500 ng/mL for the other five FWAs. Precision levels of the calibration curve as indicated by RSD of response factors were 1.2 and 8.1%. Limits of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 1.2 to 11 ng/mL.

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), communication between mobile nodes occurs without centralized control. In this environment the mobility of a node is unpredictable; this is considered as a characteristic of wireless networks. Because of faulty or malicious nodes, the network is vulnerable to routing misbehavior. The resource constrained characteristics of MANETs leads to increased query delay at the time of data access. In this paper, AntHocNet+ Security (ANTSEC) framework is proposed that includes an enhanced cooperative caching scheme embedded with artificial immune system. This framework improves security by injecting immunity into the data packets, improves the packet delivery ratio and reduces end-to-end delay using cross layer design. The issues of node failure and node malfunction are addressed in the cache management.

A routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks is important, and a location based routing has attracted attention. We have proposed a method, in which plural mobile agents (MA) manage location information and construct a route and the number of MA dynamically changes depending on the network situation. However, the area where each MA manages is not always appropriate. This would increase the network load due to unnecessary split and mergence of MAs. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an enhanced method. In this method, the MA management area is properly determined based on distribution of nodes. From the performance evaluation, we show that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods in terms of packet delivery rate when network load is high.
