Summary
The use of an agent-based approach for distributed problem solving represents a natural solution as it provides many advantages such as parallelism, robustness, and scalability. However, these advantages are contingent of an efficient coordination mechanism. In this paper we present the case study of distributed problem solving by using an agent-based approach in a water pollution monitoring, diagnosis and control system. We have proposed a simple and efficient coordination mechanism for our geographically distributed agent-based system.
