Abstract
The sensor nodes in wireless sensor network have limited capacities, complete complex tasks through collaboration. In multi-agent system, the agents complete their work through collaboration. Collaboration is one of the key issues in multi-agent system research. Taking into account the similarities between multi-agent systems and wireless sensor networks, it is possible to use agent collaboration in wireless sensor network. In this paper, we use the role-based agent collaboration to help sensor nodes, and construct a Wireless Data Acquisition and Analysis System with role-based agent collaboration. Simulation experiment results show that, when the number of nodes is large, the use of role-based agent collaboration can help it to effectively improve the system load, and reduce channel congestion. However, in the area of role definitions, roles dynamically added and so on, there are great challenges.
