The integration of Multi Agent System within the Internet of Things: The use of SigFox shield as a network

Abstract

This work represents a study of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. An intelligent solution that aims to facilitate the daily life. Its ecosystem based on the use of specific network protocols that facilitate the operation of transporting. Reliable transfer and the energy consumption characterize these protocols. Several platforms developed designed for IoT, whose main purpose is to monitor the different uses of the sensors and send collected data to the cloud, according to the network protocols, to ensure the management as well as the quantity of energy consumed. One of the major challenges of IoT is the management of information heterogeneity, and its ability to exist in a complex ubiquitous and distributed system. With this in mind, we present a solution: The integration of the Multi Agent System (MAS) within IoT, by using a new Sigfox shield. This Shield is composed of the Sigfox and the Arduino. This contribution talk about the creation and management of IoT_Agent, setting up the constraints of communication, interactions and the interconnection between objects. To do this, we find that the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol performs well in terms of energy optimization during communications and interactions between IoT_agent. This approach proposes a dynamic management of the bridges, which solves the interconnection problems of the embedded systems in the different networks with an efficiency.
