Abstract

This paper presents the design of a task allocation middleware for the coordination of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) of embedded devices. Acquisition and distribution of new tasks are performed via a multi-agent system, while service oriented principles are used to handle data gathered from the field. Also, an ad-hoc component has been designed to reduce the impact of heterogeneous networks (e.g., long-haul satellite links). Lastly, we showcase an experimental setup to prove the effectiveness of the approach when used to enhance a forest fire prevention application.
