In this paper, we develop a multi-agent language and its execution environment that enables us to easily define sensor network behavior. Using sensor network and various devices, it is easy to form a ubiquitous computing environment. However, it requires bidirectional communication between nodes autonomous control by each sensor node to determine the intercommunication suitable for its situation, and recognition and secure cooperation between unspecified numbers of sensor nodes in the heterogeneous network to provide the various system services. To solve these problems, we developed a multi-agent system capable of execution in a sensor node with limited computer resources. We then demonstrate the applicability of our system through the obtained experimental results.
