This paper presents the architecture and function of an agent system developed for sensor nodes equipped with a Web server such as Field Servers to manage a Web-based sensor network. The agent system accesses flexibly all Web components with a rule-based function and it performs various types of monitoring and complicated operations. By accessing useful Web applications such as image processing, the system also provides versatile data analysis. Moreover, the agent system has Web interfaces to control itself on the Web, so we can construct a multi-agent system in which one agent system controls not only Field Servers but also other agent systems to achieve high scalability and a robust system.
