Multiple Criteria Clustering of Mobile Agents in WSN

In Wireless sensor networks data aggregation with hundreds and thousands of sensor nodes is very complex task. Recently, mobile agents have been proposed for efficient data dissemination in sensor networks. In the traditional client/server based computing architecture, data is collected from multiple sources and forwarded to destination for further processing. It requires high bandwidth, whereas in the mobile agent is a task specific executable code traverses to the relevant source for gathering data. It reduces communication overhead, reduce cost, low bandwidth. Agents have capability to perform task for multiple applications. It will send only useful information to destination node. The problem is to group similar mobile agents into a number of clusters such that each cluster has similarity in responding to a group of nodes. By clustering intelligent mobile agents, it is possible to reduce the cost of time for each individual agent, decrease the demand imposed on network for a set of required tasks, decrease total number of visits. This paper, we present the problem of Multiple Criteria Clustering of Mobile Agents (MCCMA) where the decision is to cluster mobile agents such that a group of similar intelligent mobile agents will visit a group of similar sensor nodes.
