Abstract
Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a network that connects mobile devices without any central control. Since MANET is an infrastructure-less network that consists of only mobile devices, it should be convenient means to construct temporary networks as a part of contingency plan (when a disaster occurs). In this paper, we report our experience that we have obtained through our design and implementation of a mobile software agent system running on mobile ad hoc network. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the mobile software agent system, we have implemented a safety information collection system for sufferers of a disaster as an example application. Our experience suggests that the combination of mobile software agents and ad hoc network open the new horizon of temporary communication system without infrastructure.
