无线传感器网络（wsn）没有固定的基础设施，由执行传感和通信任务的传感器节点组成。无线传感器网络具有广泛的应用范围，如栖息地监测、军事监视和目标跟踪，其中传感器节点可能分布在高动态环境中。电池受限的传感器节点可以聚合感知到的数据，对自己进行本地化，并以节能和分散的方式路由数据包，以启用应用程序的运行。智能体具有独立自主的行为能力，能够成功地完成委托给它们的任务，因此基于智能体的方法非常适合用于解决无线传感器网络中出现的问题。目前，针对无线传感器网络提出了许多基于智能体的方法。本文综述了传感器网络中的智能体技术，给出了这些方法的分类、目标和成本，并提出了一些有待研究的问题。据我们所知，这是第一个从广泛的角度涵盖代理技术和传感器网络交叉的研究。
Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) do not have a fixed infrastructure and consist of sensor nodes that perform sensing and communicating tasks. The WSNs have large application spectrum such as habitat monitoring, military surveillance, and target tracking, where sensor nodes may operate distributed in highly dynamic environments. Battery-constrained sensor nodes may aggregate the sensed data, localize themselves, and route the packets in an energy-efficient and decentralized manner to enable running the applications. Agents are capable of independent and autonomous action, so that they can successfully carry out tasks that have been delegated to them, thus agent-based approaches are very suitable to apply as the solution of the problems occurring in WSNs. So far many agent-based approaches were proposed for WSNs. This paper surveys the agent technologies for sensor networks by providing a classification, objectives and costs of these approaches with the open research problems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that covers the intersection of the agent technology and sensor networks from a wide perspective.
