Abstract

Classic computing systems are characterised by heterogeneity, with its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This raises a number of difficulties for software engineers. The vision offered by a mix-and-match approach is an attractive one, though its practical realisation comes at a cost, as the process of integration is rarely smooth. This scenario will be repeated as Wireless Sensor Networks are increasingly incorporated into mainstream computing. One potential paradigm for managing this heterogeneity is that of intelligent agents. This paper considers the viability and potential of lightweight agents as a paradigm for harnessing the potential of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks.

An intelligent agent for fault reconnaissance in sensor networks
iiWAS '09: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services

An embedded sensor network is a system of nodes, each of which is equipped with a certain amount of sensing, actuating, computation, communication and storage components. Two major components of sensor nodes are sensing unit and wireless transceiver. ...
Fault reconnaissance agent for sensor networks

One of the key prerequisite for a scalable, effective and efficient sensor network is the utilization of low-cost, low-overhead and high-resilient fault-inference techniques. To this end, we propose an intelligent agent system with a problem solving ...
Sensor scheduling for p-percent coverage in wireless sensor networks

We study sensor scheduling problems of p-percent coverage in this paper and propose two scheduling algorithms to prolong network lifetime due to the fact that for some applications full coverage is not necessary and different subareas of the monitored ...
