Web-based sensor nodes, which have a Web server for monitoring data and operating devices, could be used for their easy installation, monitoring, and management with small effort on the part of users. To realize a sensor network system with a high scalability, fewer legacy problems, and general versatility, we propose an agent system for operating Web-based sensor nodes via the Internet. In this agent system, we can handle many kinds of sensor nodes flexibly and uniformly with the agent program and the configuration file. By constructing all objects of the agent system based on the Internet, it is possible to enhance the expansion of operation, control, and scale. By making the agent architecture, algorithm, and implementation, we demonstrate the capabilities and reliability of this system as a useful sensor network.
