ABSTRACT: Complex and distributed systems are more and more associated with
the application of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technology. The design of such
applications presents important challenges and requires the assistance of
several methodologies and tools. Multi-Agent systems (MAS) have been identified
as one of the most suitable technologies to contribute to this
domain due to their appropriateness for modeling distributed and autonomous
complex systems. This work aims to contribute in the help of the design of WSN
applications. The proposed architecture exploits the advantages
of MAS for modeling WSN services, network topologies and sensor device
architectures.
