Mobile agents - enabling technology for active intelligent networkimplementation

The emerging notion of active networks describes the general vision of communication network evolution, where the network nodes become active because they take part in the computation of applications and provision of customized services. In this context mobile agent technology and programmable switches are considered as enabling technologies. This article looks at the impact of mobile agent technology on telecommunication service environments, influenced by the intelligent network (IN) architecture. The authors illustrate how the integration of mobile agent platforms into IN elements, notably into the IN switches, will realize an active IN environment. This enables telecom services implemented through mobile service agents on a per user basis to be instantly deployed at programmable switching nodes, which results in better performance and fault tolerance compared to traditional IN service implementations     

An Efficient Fault Tolerance Protocol with Backup Foreign Agents in a Hierarchical Local Registration Mobile IP

A Mobile IP allows IP hosts to move between different networks without changing their IP addresses. Mobile IP systems supporting local registration were introduced to reduce the number of times a home registration with the remotely located home agent was needed. The local registration Mobile IP scheme enhanced performance by processing registration requests of mobile nodes at a local agent. The local registration approach may affect other aspects of the Mobile IP systems such as fault tolerance. In this paper, we briefly review previous solutions for supporting fault tolerance in local registration Mobile IP systems and propose a fault tolerance protocol with a backup foreign agent in a hierarchical local registration mobile IP to enhance the efficiency of such systems against foreign agent failures. We also describe the specification of the proposed protocol using LOTOS and perform its validation using MiniLite. Finally, we analyze the performance of our proposed fault tolerance protocol through simulation.     

Mobile-agent-based collaborative signal and information processing in sensor networks

In this paper, we develop an energy-efficient, fault-tolerant approach for collaborative signal and information processing (CSIP) among multiple sensor nodes using a mobile-agent-based computing model. In this model, instead of each sensor node sending local information to a processing center for integration, as is typical in client/server-based computing, the integration code is moved to the sensor nodes through mobile agents. The energy efficiency objective and the fault tolerance objective always conflict with each other and present unique challenge to the design of CSIP algorithms. In general, energy-efficient approaches try to limit the redundancy in the algorithm so that minimum amount of energy is required for fulfilling a certain task. On the other hand, redundancy is needed for providing fault tolerance since sensors might be faulty, malfunctioning, or even malicious. A balance has to be struck between these two objectives. We discuss the potential of mobile-agent-based collaborative processing in providing progressive accuracy while maintaining certain degree of fault tolerance. We evaluate its performance compared to the client/server-based collaboration from perspectives of energy consumption and execution time through both simulation and analytical study. Finally, we take collaborative target classification as an application example to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Fault diagnosis and its prediction in wireless sensor networks using regressional learning to achieve fault tolerance

Due to the wide range of critical applications and resource constraints, sensor node gives unexpected responses, which leads to various kind of faults in sensor node and failure in wireless sensor networks. Many research studies focus only on fault diagnosis, and comparatively limited studies have been conducted on fault diagnosis along with fault tolerance in sensor networks. This paper reports a complete study on both 2 aspects and presents a fault tolerance approach using regressional learning with fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks. The proposed method diagnose the different types of faulty nodes such as hard permanent, soft permanent, intermittent, and transient faults with better detection accuracy. The proposed method follows a fault tolerance phase where faulty sensor node values would be predicted by using the data sensed by the fault free neighbors. The experimental evaluation of the fault tolerance module shows promising results with R² of more than 0.99. For the periodic fault such as intermittent fault, the proposed method also predict the possible occurrence time and its duration of the faulty node, so that fault tolerance can be achieved at that particular time period for better performance of the network.

Mobile Malicious Node Detection Using Mobile Agent in Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

Many application domains require that sensor node to be deployed in harsh or hostile environments, such as active volcano area tracking endangered species, etc. making these nodes more prone to failures. The most challenging problem is monitoring the illegal movement within the sensor networks. Attacker prefers mobile malicious node because by making the diversity of path intruder maximize his impact. The emerging technology of sensor network expected Intrusion detection technique for a dynamic environment. In this paper, a defective mechanism based on three-step negotiation is performed for identifying the mobile malicious node using the mobile agent. In many approaches, the multi-mobile agents are used to collect the data from all the sensor nodes after verification. But it is inefficient to verify all the sensor nodes (SNs) in the network, because of mobility, energy consumption, and high delay. In the proposed system this can be solved by grouping sensor nodes into clusters and a single mobile agent performs verification only with all the cluster heads instead of verifying all the SNs. The simulation result shows the proposed system shows a better result than the existing system.

Secured routing in wireless sensor networks using fault‐free and trusted nodes

Wireless sensor network (WSN) should be designed such that it is able to identify the faulty nodes, rectify the faults, identify compromised nodes from various security threats, and transmit the sensed data securely to the sink node under faulty conditions. In this paper, we propose an idea of integrating fault tolerance and secured routing mechanism in WSN named as fault tolerant secured routing: an integrated approach (FASRI) that establishes secured routes from source to sink node even under faulty node conditions. Faulty nodes are identified using battery power and interference models. Trustworthy nodes (non‐compromised) among fault‐free nodes are identified by using agent‐based trust model. Finally, the data are securely routed through fault‐free non‐compromised nodes to sink. Performance evaluation through simulation is carried out for packet delivery ratio, hit rate, computation overhead, communication overhead, compromised node detection ratio, end‐to‐end delay, memory overhead, and agent overhead. We compared simulation results of FASRI with three schemes, namely multi‐version multi‐path (MVMP), intrusion/fault tolerant routing protocol (IFRP) in WSN, and active node‐based fault tolerance using battery power and interference model (AFTBI) for various measures and found that there is a performance improvement in FASRI compared with MVMP, IFRP, and AFTBI.

Multi mobile agent itinerary planning based on network coverage and multi-objective discrete social spider optimization algorithm

The multi mobile agent collaboration planning model was constructed based on the mobile agent load balancing and total network energy consumption index.In order to prolong the network lifetime,the network node dormancy mechanism based on WSN network coverage was put forward,using fewer worked nodes to meet the requirements of network coverage.According to the multi mobile agent collaborative planning technical features,the multi-objective discrete social spider optimization algorithm (MDSSO) with Pareto optimal solutions was designed.The interpolation learning and exchange variations particle updating strategy was redefined,and the optimal set size was adjusted dynamically,which helps to improve the accuracy of MDSSO.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly give the WSN multi mobile agent path planning scheme,and compared with other schemes,the network total energy consumption has reduced by 15%,and the network lifetime has increased by 23%.
