   Abstract:
   The recent change of emphasis from high performance parallel computing to high performance parallel/distributed computing has called for new techniques in distributed problem solving. Mobile agent, as a new computing paradigm, breaks the barrier of traditional client/server model and provides a more efficient solution to distributed computing. In the mobile-agent-based paradigm, data stay at the local site, while the execution code is moved to the data sites. In this paper, we describe the deployment of mobile agent in Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs). Mobile agent is used to integrate pre-processed data located at local sensor nodes. We take target classification as an example to illustrate how mobile-agent-based DSN (MADSN) supports high performance distributed integration.
