“…Networks and network effects occur in many areas, including business. Recently, Cabral et al proposed an agent-based network model to analyze the impact of business interoperability on the performance of cooperative industrial networks [ 14 ]. In the business world, multiple organizations routinely undertake collaborative temporary projects.…”

“…The case was the construction of a dam, the specific application testing of the quality of concrete for the dam, and the network system a middleware system of Radio Frequency Identification (RFI) sensors to ease communication between collaborators. Using the new system, communication of test results improved up to 98% [ 14 ]. Table 1 presents some salient similarities between business networks, the Dam project, and mobile wireless sensor networks.…”

“…Our data fusion algorithm for multi-protocol mobile agents in wireless networks contributes to the solution of this dilemma. It is based on the Agent-based Model in cooperative industrial networks [ 14 ], which shows the impact of business interoperability on the performance of networked companies. This theoretical agent-based model was confirmed in a dam construction project, where a cooperative information system platform with Radio Frequency Identification (RFI) technology reduced the time for analysis of testing results for concrete up to 98%.…”

Sensors are increasingly used in mobile environments with wireless network connections. Multiple sensor types measure distinct aspects of the same event. Their measurements are then combined to produce integrated, reliable results. As the number of sensors in networks increases, low energy requirements and changing network connections complicate event detection and measurement. We present a data fusion scheme for use in mobile wireless sensor networks with high energy efficiency and low network delays, that still produces reliable results. In the first phase, we used a network simulation where mobile agents dynamically select the next hop migration node based on the stability parameter of the link, and perform the data fusion at the migration node. Agents use the fusion results to decide if it should return the fusion results to the processing center or continue to collect more data. In the second phase. The feasibility of data fusion at the node level is confirmed by an experimental design where fused data from color sensors show near-identical results to actual physical temperatures. These results are potentially important for new large-scale sensor network applications.
