Ubiquitous systems build on the vision that great amounts of fixed and mobile microchips and sensors will be integrated in everyday objects. Developing services on basis of sensor nodes and limited devices is an arduous task. A program running on such a device is static and limited to a single service. If a new service needs to be performed the devices have to be fundamentally reprogrammed and reloaded. For dynamic service distribution a mobile agent system is devised and services are distributed by mobile agents. The idea in this research proposal is to load a service on the limited device or sensor node when it is needed and to switch services dynamically. The service comes in form of an agent to each device. This research proposal has the aim to investigate the usage of mobile agents on sensor networks. (1) A mobile agent system will be downsized to run on sensor nodes and its performance, memory and power requirements will be estimated. (2) As application a fire detection service will be implemented using mobile agents. (3) The usage of mobile agents will be investigated to support self-management of Autonomie and Organic Computing.
