The mobile agent executes a given task by which the agent code moves to the server directly. Therefore, node migration method becomes an important factor which impact on the whole performance of distributed system. In this paper, we propose an adaptive migration path technique of mobile agent using the metadata of naming agent. In this proposed technique, node selection for migration depends on the content of referenced metadata, and the reliability of migrated information is determined by the metadata updating method and cooperative operations of individual agents in multi-agents system. For these, we design the metadata using by the number of hit documents, hit ratio, node processing time and network delay time, and describe the methods for creating, using and updating metadata for which determine the adaptive node migration path of mobile agent according to the cooperation of individual agents and number of hit documents using by designed metadata. And results of evaluated performance for proposed adaptive migration path technique through the proper experiment and analysis gain rate of high effective information earning, because of high hit ratio(72%) about of fathered documents by case of applying metadata move to the 13 nodes. But, in case of non-applying metadata is hit ratio(46%) of gathered documents and rate of effective information earning about of 26 nodes is 36.8%.

The use of mobile agents for collaborative processing in wireless sensor network has gained considerable attention. This is when mobile agents are used for data aggregation to exploit redundant and correlated data. The efficiency of agent-based data aggregation depends on the agent migration scheme. However, in general, most of the proposed schemes are centralized approach-based schemes where the sink node determines the migration paths for the agents before dispatching them in the sensor network. The main limitations with such schemes are that they need global network topology information for deriving the migration paths of the agents, which incurs additional communication overhead, since each node has a very limited communication range. In addition, a centralized approach does not provide fault tolerant and adaptive migration paths. In order to solve such problems, we have proposed a distributed approach-based scheme for determining the migration path of the agents where at each hop, the local information is used to decide the migration of the agents. In addition, we also propose a local repair mechanism for dealing with the faulty nodes. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better than existing schemes in the presence of faulty nodes within the networks, and manages to report the aggregated data to the sink faster.

본 논문에서는 이동 에이전트의 이주 노드들에 대한 최적 경로 탐색을 통한 적응적 이주 경로 기법을 설계한다. 적응적 이주 경로 기법은 이동 에이전트가 사용자로부터 동일한 작업 요청을 부여 받았을 경우 일반적으로 전체 노드를 순회하지 않고 이주할 노드를 선택함으로써 수행되어진다. 그러나 이주 수행시 네트워크 환경 변화 및 부하로 인해 트래픽이 증가된 경우에는 스케줄링된 목적 노드로의 이주가 원활히 수행되지 못하므로 노드 순회 시간 비용이 증가하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 상황을 해결하기 위해 최적으로 이주 노드들의 경로를 지정하는 경로 탐색 알고리즘을 통해 에이전트의 노드 이주 시간 비용을 최소화할 수 있는 이주 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 이동 에이전트의 이주 신뢰성을 확보하며 순회 작업 처리 시 효율성을 높일 수 있다.
