Applications:
The mobile agent technology can significantly enhance the design
and analysis of problem domains under the following three circumstances.
(1) the problem domain is geographically distributed;
(2) the subsystems exist in a dynamic environment; (3)
the subsystems need to interact with each other more flexibly.
Mobile agents can travel between different execution environments. Mobile agents can be created dynamically at runtime and dispatched to source systems to perform tasks with the most updated code. Therefore, the mobility of mobile agents provides distributed applications with significant flexibility and adaptability in dynamically changing environments. Mobile-C is a general mobile agent platform, it can find its applications in many areas, especially in networked intelligent mechatronic and embedded systems. For example, when dealing with terra mining or planet exploration where multiple mobile units are required to setup equipment or explore the environment, the mobile units are far from the control center and communication is delayed or nonexistent. Intelligent autonomous agent-based systems can collaborate in order to overcome obstacles without the need for continued supervision from the control center. As another example, the ability to travel allows mobile agent systems to move computation to source systems. This decentralized approach improves network efficiency since the processing is performed locally.

Distributed Multi-Camera Surveillance for Intelligent Home
This project foresees the enlargement of an existing single-source
surveillance system, developed at our lab, to a distributed
multi-camera video network. Currently, the single-camera video
system is applied for fall detection in the so-called Video-Based
Intelligent Home (ViBIH). The main goal is thus to improve the
accuracy of the fall detection results and, at the same time,
enhance the vision field. Since we envision to use smart cameras,
where the primary image processing is performed close to the image
sensor, the main challenges faced by this project are: (i) the
video sensor units' connectivity, and (ii) the communication
network. As mentioned above, (i) comprises the process
synchronization and the cooperative integration of the multiple
video productions. It requires thus the definition of an
appropriate data structure, the development of the target
algorithms for merging and processing of the correlated info
coming from different video sources, as well as the
prioritization of related tasks. On the other hand, (ii)
includes the definition of the communication protocol and the
memory management policy.
In this project, Mobile-C is used in a multi-camera platform to
decentralize some of detection algorithms. For example, a human tracking algorithm will move from one smart camera to the other when the target move to the field of
vision of another camera. The algorithm is deployed in a mobile agent in Mobile-C.
Monitoring Intrusion detection on MANET using intelligent agent
In recent years, the security issues on MANET have become one of
the primary concerns. The MANET is more vulnerable to attacks
than wired network. These vulnerabilities are nature of the MANET
structure that cannot be removed. As a result, attacks with
malicious intent have been and will be devised to exploit these
vulnerabilities and to cripple the MANET operation. Mobile agent
can be used as tool to collect and process information regarding
intrusion data into MANET's nodes. The characteristic of the
mobile agent should be light as many limitation on these nodes.

algorithms to traffic control agents and validate the control
effects of these agents through simulation.
It also studies the coordination method of control agents.

intersections' control agents.
Afterwards, it adjusts its control behaviors and parameters through
fuzzy reasoning based on predefined rules and the control
optimization of the whole area is realized.
The running mechanism and switched rules of traffic control agent
are studied.

organization level, area coordination level and field execution
level using the hierarchical architecture developed for intelligent
control systems.

Using Adaptable Mobile Agents to Add QoS in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are increasingly being used for critical
safety monitoring systems.
In these systems, the reliability level for the data is of paramount
importance especially when emergency situations occur and may involve
material and life losses.
Therefore, it is important that every incident can be tracked down
throughout the event.
Clearly, the information flow from the sensors, in these environments,
should continuously feed a monitoring system throughout the incident.
Moreover, monitoring all phases of the incident can be used for further
investigation and future prevention by revealing the source of the
problem.
It also helps the rescue team in the action management and in the
decision-making.
Typical video monitoring systems do not have all these features,
due to the lack of sensing feedback of what is happening in the
physical environment.
Thus, there is no way to know exactly where, why and how some fire
emergency happened.
In our solution, we use the integration of WSN and Radio Frequency
ID tags (RFIDs) to provide accurate localization reference and
other relevant contexts on the emergency on course.
Data from sensors and RFID tags at the location of the incident are
submitted to a fusion process to eliminate redundant data and
noise and so saving energy for the whole network.
The usage of mobile agents eliminates the need for all sensors to
send their readings back to a sink whenever some problem occurs.
In our solution the mobile agent, held by the sensors, and tailored
according to application needs (lowest latency, highest delivery
rate etc) is responsible for migrating, collecting the data and
performing data fusion at each step.
The novelty of our solution is the agents flexibility to
behavior and structure changes to guarantee the required quality
of service by the application when data is gathered and delivered
in harsh conditions.

350 other software vendors in combonation for a large
scale launch of state of the art software and websites
(projects range from small html chatrooms to apple inc.
grade technologies and intel grade technologies already
designed and are now in progress).

Intelligent Video Sensor Network - InViNe
In this project innovative concepts for in-network processing and
system autonomy for a fast-deployable, self-configuring and
self managing Intelligent Video Sensor Network (InViNe) will be
researched and developed taking into consideration the resource
constraints, variable network capacity and dynamic topology
found in ad-hoc wireless mesh networks.
The enabler of the InViNe system will be an embedded middleware
supporting the interaction between distributed network and sensor
devices by providing an interface between the operating system
on the embedded device and a wide variety of video sensor network
applications.
In order to facilitate distributed sensor data processing, the concept
of mobile software agents will be used.
Mobile agent-based systems allow the execution of certain software
components called agents to migrate across a network.
Mobile agent oriented middleware has many advantages over typical
clientserver communication such as reduced network load, greater
ability to adapt to a dynamic network and support for autonomous
execution.
Video analysis and system management tasks will be mapped to mobile
agents and these agents will dynamically migrate through the
network from video sensors to network nodes in order to optimally
utilize the available network capacity and in-network processing
resources.
Low-level processing tasks can be done directly on the resource limited
sensors thereby limiting the amount of data which must be transported
into the network.
High-level or collaborative processing tasks can migrate to network
nodes with higher processing capabilities.
The location of agents will be continuously optimized adapting to
network topology changes due to node mobility as well as nodes
entering and leaving the network.

Mobile Agents for Computer Intrusion Detection
In the age of the Internet, computer intrusion
detections are at best a black art. The science to perceive,
track, and understand intrusions is still at its infancy.
Many different technologies and topologies are under
investigation to see which model provides adequate data
for intrusion detection. In this paper, we present a
platform independent Java-based mobile agent intrusion
detection system (IDS). In our prototype mobile agent
IDS, the focus is on port scanning and file integrity
checking. The mobile agents are implemented using the
Concordia Mobile Agent Development Kit. We will
discuss the performance and memory resources required
to run these mobile agents.
