． 本文介绍了为现场服务器开发的基于web的传感器网络管理代理系统的框架和功能。该系统由代理程序、程序配置文件和Web界面组成，可以通过Internet方便、自主地管理基于Web的传感器节点。它可以执行简单的功能，如监控到更复杂的智能操作，以适应用户在程序配置文件中指定的各种条件。用户可以通过代理系统中的Web界面方便地访问和更改代理管理。它还被设计为将基于Web的节点、Web应用程序和Web信息作为节点来处理，因此可以通过简单地与这些节点交互而无需更改代理程序来轻松扩展其功能。此外，代理系统被设计为将自身视为一个节点，从而形成一个高度可扩展和健壮的系统。一个元代理系统可以对另一个代理系统进行处理，协调整个系统中多个节点的管理功能，从而实现系统的可扩展性。代理系统的嵌套结构，其中多个代理系统处理多个节点，作为数据备份机制和避免瓶颈的一种方式。试验结果表明，现场服务器代理系统是一种鲁棒性强、可扩展性强的现场长期监控、有效的数据处理和基于情况的管理系统。
. This paper presents the framework and function of an agent system developed for Field Server to manage Web-based sensor network. This system consisting of an agent program, program configuration files, and a Web interface, can easily and autonomously manage Web-based sensor nodes via the Internet. It can perform simple function such as monitoring to more complex and intelligent operations to adapt to various conditions as specified by the user in the program configuration files. The users can easily access and change the agent management via the Web interface in the agent system. It is also designed to handle Web-based nodes, Web applications and Web information as nodes, so its functions can be easily expanded by simply interacting with these nodes without changing the agent program. Moreover, the agent system is designed to treat itself as just one of the nodes resulting to a highly scalable and robust system. A meta-agent system, which can treat another agent system, coordinates the function of managing many nodes in the whole system so that it can achieve scalability system. The nested structure of the agent system in which several agent systems handle several nodes multiply, serves as a data backup mechanism as well as a way to avoid bottlenecks. Results of the trial experiments show the agent system for Field Servers is a robust and scalable system for long-term field monitoring, effective data handling, and management based on the situation.
