This paper describes a framework for flexible data feeds in sensor grids where resource constraints, policies, and a dynamic topology are important factors. Mobile agents are used to dynamically establish the data flows and data transformations in the network. They also act as policy enforcers that are dynamically dispatched into the sensor network. A dynamic topology for the network is taken into consideration, where nodes can join and leave at any time. Mobile code provides the means to dynamically deploy capabilities to any participating host and strong mobility allows process migration between nodes to ensure feed survivability and load balancing. The proposed framework relies on a strong mobility agent system (NOMADS) and the KAoS framework for policy enforcement and is being currently used to support a military coalition agent scenario (CoAX 2002).
