“…As SYLPH, HERA focuses specially on heterogeneous devices with reduced resources to save CPU time, memory size and power consumption. However, HERA goes one step ahead of SYLPH and adds reactive agents [11] and a reasoning mechanism to the platform, extending its context-aware features. In HERA, unlike other approaches, agents are directly embedded into the WSN nodes and their services can be invoked from other nodes in the same WSN or other WSN connected to the former one, no matter the radio technology they use.…”

“…To this end, developers have focused on the organizational aspects of agent societies to guide the development process of the system. This article describes an agent approach to fusion applied to dynamic contexts based on the HERA (Hardware-Embedded Reactive Agents) [1] and OVAMAH (Adaptive Virtual Organizations: Mechanisms, Architectures and Tools) platforms [14].…”

Information fusion in a context-aware system is understood as a process that assembles assessments of the environment based on its goals. Advantages of intelligent approaches such as Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) within the information fusion process are emerging, especially in context-aware scenarios. However, it has become critical to propose improved and efficient ways to handle the enormous quantity of data provided by these approaches. Agents are a suitable option because they can represent autonomous entities by modeling their capabilities, expertise and intentions. In this sense, virtual organizations of agents are an interesting option/possibility because they can provide the necessary capacity to handle open and heterogeneous systems such as those normally found in the information fusion process. This paper presents a new framework that defines a method for creating a virtual organization of software and hardware agents. This approach facilitates the inclusion of context-aware capabilities when developing intelligent and adaptable systems, where functionalities can communicate in a distributed and collaborative way. Several tests have been performed to evaluate this framework and preliminary results and conclusions are presented.

Ubiquitous Developments in Ambient Computing and Intelligence

This paper describes last improvements made on ALZ-MAS; an Ambient Intelligence based multi-agent system aimed at enhancing the assistance and health care for Alzheimer patients. The system makes use of several context-aware technologies that allow it to automatically obtain information from users and the environment in an evenly distributed way, focusing on the characteristics of ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, mobility, etc., all of which are concepts defined by Ambient Intelligence. Among these context-aware technologies we have Wireless Sensor Networks. In this sense, ALZ-MAS is currently being improved by the use of a new platform of ZigBee devices that provides the system with new telemonitoring and locating engines.
