Multi Agent System for Agile Wireless Sensor Network to Monitor Structures

The rapid and enormous construction of structures calls for rigorous SHM programme during construction, operation and maintenance. Thus much of the structures success or failure depends upon efficient SHM programs. The basic technology underlying SHM to detect cracks and failures is incorporated by Wireless Sensor Network technology. Thus the agility of WSN is a prominent factor for successful SHM programme. Unpredictable external events such as earth quake or high impact are an inevitable fact of life. For such an event WSN should be active and efficient enough to perform the assigned task without failure. The NMAOS (Never miss an opportunity scheme) a prototype based on Multi agent technology is proposed in this paper to provide agility to Wireless Sensor Network.
