In Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), sensors and actors collaborate together to get the information about the physical environment and perform appropriate actions. In order to provide effective sensing and acting, a distributed local coordination mechanism is necessary among sensors and actors. In this work, we consider the actor node selection problem and we propose a fuzzy-based system that based on data provided by sensors and actors selects an appropriate actor node. We use 4 input parameters. Different from our previous work, we consider also the Quality of Service(QoS). The output parameter is Actor Selection Decision (ASD). The simulation results show that the proposed system makes a proper selection of actor nodes.
