“…We put them in a real scenario and compared them to the simulated street lights. Previously, we described, in [6], a more complex application, but we only had provided a simulated scenario. In this work, we showed that is possible to automatically create and train a smart thing's controllers using FIoT and to use it to control physical smart things.…”

Abstract-The goal of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to transform any thing around us, such as a trash can or a street light, into a smart thing. A smart thing has the ability of sensing, processing, communicating and/or actuating. In order to achieve the goal of a smart IoT application, such as minimizing waste transportation costs or reducing energy consumption, the smart things in the application scenario must cooperate with each other without a centralized control. Inspired by known approaches to design swarm of cooperative and autonomous robots, we modeled our smart things based on the embodied cognition concept. Each smart thing is a physical agent with a body composed of a microcontroller, sensors and actuators, and a brain that is represented by an artificial neural network. This type of agent is commonly called an embodied agent. The behavior of these embodied agents is autonomously configured through an evolutionary algorithm that is triggered according to the application performance. To illustrate, we have designed three homogeneous prototypes for smart street lights based on an evolved network. This application has shown that the proposed approach results in a feasible way of modeling decentralized smart things with self-developed and cooperative capabilities.

-Multiagent systems (MASs) have been applied to several application domains, such as e-commerce, unmanned vehicles, and many others. In addition, a set of different techniques has been integrated into multiagent applications. However, few of these applications have been commercially deployed and few of these techniques have been fully exploited by industrial applications. One reason is the lack of procedures guaranteeing that multiagent systems would behave as desired. Most of the existing test approaches only test agents as single individuals and do not provide ways of inspecting the behavior of an agent as part of a group, and the behavior of the whole group of agents. Accordingly, we modeled and developed a publishsubscribe-based architecture to facilitate the implementation of systems to test MASs at the agent and group levels. To illustrate and evaluate the use of the proposed architecture, we developed an MAS-based application and performed functional and performance ad-hoc tests.

Due to the price elasticity of demand for secondhand commodities, it is difficult to establish a quantitative model for the auction. This paper proposes an agent-based multiattribute reverse auction model to support multicommodity combinatorial auction. First, this paper establishes an agent-based reverse auction model and introduces the framework, procedures, and protocols of the model in detail. Second, in light of the multicommodity environment, the targets, protocols, auction strategies, and approaches are identified. Finally, by using the proposed agent-based auction model, both buyers and sellers will reach simultaneous agreements on the details of the commodities to complete the auction.
