Abstract

This chapter deals with reconfigurable wireless sensor networks (to be named by RWSN). A RWSN is composed of distributed autonomous nodes that execute programs (reconfigurable software tasks) and control local sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions. We propose three reconfiguration forms to be executed in our RWSN: (i) hardware reconfiguration allowing the activation/deactivation of nodes, (ii) software reconfiguration allowing the addition/ removal/ update of tasks and (iii) protocol reconfiguration allowing the modification of routing protocols between nodes. We propose, in this chapter, a zone-based multi-agent architecture for RWSN to optimize the distributed reconfigurations. Each agent of this architecture is modeled by nested state machines in order to control the problem complexity. The chapter’s contribution is applied to a case study that we simulate with WSNet (Wireless Sensor Network simulator) [5] to show the originality of this new architecture.
