Arquitectura multi-agente y protocolo de comunicación para dar soporte a sistemas basados en conocimiento en redes de sensores inalámbricos

Abstract

In this thesis it is presented a multi-agent architecture whose purpose is to achieve the autonomous management of the resources of a sensor through fuzzy rule-based systems. Moreover, those systems would rely on the communication services that bring a new application protocol. Therefore, those agents are modelled by fuzzy rule-based systems to achieve an efficient management of the duty cycle of a sensor. In addition, a new specific application protocol that supports the entire sensors network has been developed, making the network available from the Internet, too. The obtained results show that the proposed integration satisfactorily meets the objectives. Thus, it can be concluded that fuzzy rule-based systems can effectively model the behaviour of an agent in charge of managing the energy resources of a sensor. Moreover, thanks to the use of a specific application protocol, those agents can be managed within a sensor network.
