Abstract

Sandia National Labs (USA)

The wireless intelligent monitoring and analysis systems is a proof-of-concept directed at discovering solution(s) forproviding decentralized intelligent data analysis and control for distributed containers equipped with wireless sensingunits. The objective was to embed smart behavior directly within each wireless sensor container, through theincorporation of agent technology into each sensor suite. This approach provides intelligent directed fusion of data basedon a social model of teaming behavior. This system demonstrates intelligent sensor behavior that converts raw sensordata into group knowledge to better understand the integrity of the complete container environment. The emergent teambehavior is achieved with lightweight software agents that analyze sensor data based on their current behavior mode.When the system starts-up or is reconfigured the agents self-organize into virtual random teams based on theleader/member/lonely paradigm. The team leader collects sensor data from their members and investigates all abnormalsituations to determine the legitimacy of high sensor readings. The team leaders flag critical situation and report thisknowledge back to the user via a collection of base stations. This research provides insight into the integration issues andconcerns associated with integrating multi-disciplinary fields of software agents, artificial life and autonomous sensorbehavior into a complete system.
