Although the idea of injecting mobile agents in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in deterministic as well as non-deterministic environments is not new but the strategy of processing the information and the path, a mobile agent should follow is still in its infancy. The work proposes a mobile agent based top-down approach for harvesting the data from WSN deployed in non-deterministic environment, in particular. Further, embedded mobile agents can be harnessed for the data capture process as these mobile agents can travel the network and adapt to the changing environment. The work uniquely contributes a mobile-agent based event-driven approach for collecting the data from various hops in different clusters and a mobile agent is responsible for forwarding the processed information to the sink. Further, it is emphasized that embedding mobile agents into sensors would result into a dynamic method for sensing and processing the data in non-deterministic environments.
