Abstract:
A wireless sensor network will collaborate for a common application such as environmental
monitoring. One fundamental issue in sensor networks is the coverage problem. We present in this
article a Holonic Multi-agent approach that solves the coverage problem when using wireless sensor
networks. Complex systems are characterized by large number of entities in interaction, exhibiting
emergent behaviors. The holons in holonic multi-agent systems are not required to coordinate the work
of a physical resource, but instead may coordinate the work of several information agents that only
exist virtually. A super-holon is, internally, a community of holons that cooperate to achieve a
commonly agreed objective or task. On the other hand, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), stand out as a
paradigm for the design of Complex Systems.
