Abstract
Decision making process for agent systems is an important issue in dynamic network environment. This study proposes a novel method for determining leader node by measuring centrality and connectivity in the networks. The proposed method shows that each node maintains a list of the agent candidate to minimize the load of agent reelection. The agent provides services for various operations of the network and controls problems of network in both wired and wireless systems. The proposed agent decision method uses the topological centrality of the network, the degree of connectivity, node energy states as election keys. Simulations and numeric analysis are shown to verify the effect of the proposed decision method.
