Intelligent Sensor Networks - an Agent-Oriented Approach
B Karlsson, O Bäckström, Wlodek Kulesza, L Axelsson · 2005
This paper describes the agent oriented programming paradigm for development of intelligent sensor networks. The case study was performed by implementing a testbed using JADE, Java Agent DEvelopment Framework, as a basis of testing this proposed approach, and making implemental experiences of the agent paradigms maturity for dynamic wireless sensor networks. The application of the specific implementation is an Unattended Ground Sensor Network, UGSN, for surveillance of moving targets. An intelligent sensor network in this case should consist of autonomous sensor nodes, which exchange information, reason and collaborate with each other. The UGSN should preserve energy resources and work as one unit when delivering fused and compiled sensor information to the end user.
