Abstract

This research investigates the problems of agent coordination when deployed in highly dynamic environments such as MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks). Several difficulties arise in these infrastructures especially when the devices with limited resources are used. All the constraints of agents’ development must thus be reexamined in order to deal with such situations, especially due to the opportunistic mobility of nodes. In this paper, we thus propose a new multiagent coordination mechanism through agent coalition formation for such an environment. In order to validate it, evaluation performance tests have been conducted on an application devoted for the assistance of hospital patients and their results are also presented in the paper.
