Abstract
Mobile agent technologies are effective ways of deploying applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN). There are currently several different approaches for enabling communication between agents operating on a WSN, but none of them allows for dynamic agent location determination. This introduces some restrictions which severely limit the usefulness of mobile agents on WSNs. In this paper, we propose a name-based location service for mobile agents in a WSN. The approach is largely implemented through the regular placement of landmark nodes across the WSN. We show that our approach can enable communication with the nearest target agent and maintains a constant level of communication among mobile agents over the whole WSN.
