Role of Multi Agents in Wireless Sensor Network for Event Detection

This paper focuses on developing the multi agent systems in wireless sensor networks(wsn) to detect the yarn breakages(event) in spinning machine in textile industry. The multiagent system interconnects separately developed mobile agents, thus enabling the function beyond the capabilities of any singular mobile agent in the system. In our application, the sensor nodes are deployed to monitor the break in the yarn. These nodes are formed into many clusters and cluster head is chosen randomly in each cluster. Any break in the yarn detected by the sensor nodes in each cluster is informed to the cluster head. The information obtained by the system must be managed by the agents attached to the cluster heads which provides an adequate interaction between users and their environment. In the proposed system, wsn platform is integrated with the agent based clustering architecture. The cluster head agents carry the information to the end user through base station. The technique proposed has been simulated for research study and the results obtained have been shown in respect of time of detection of yarn breakage.
