Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an application of multiagent systems (MAS) to communication management in wireless sensor networks (WSN). We propose an adaptive infrastructure of autonomous agents to route the information in the best way, in consideration to strong constraints on energy resources, dynamical topology, asymetric communication links etc. We design a multiagent system’s architecture according to the AEIO method. We also introduce the ASTRO hybrid agent model. We apply our approach to the monitoring of an underground hydrographic network. Interesting simulation results are discussed.
