Abstract
There are many approaches proposed by the scientific community for the implementation and development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). These approaches correspond to different areas of science, such as Electronics, Communications, Computing, Ubiquity, and Quality of Service among others. However, all are subject to the same constraints, because of the nature of WSN devices. The most common constraints of a WSN are the energy consumption, the network nodes organization, the sensor network’s task reprogramming, the reliability in the data transmission, the resource optimization (memory and processing), etc. In the Artificial Intelligence Area is has proposed an Distributed System Approach with Mobile Intelligent Agents. An Integration Model of Mobile Intelligent Agents within Wireless Sensor Network solves some of the constraints presented above on WSN´s topologies. However, the model only was tested on the square topologies. In this way, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of this model in irregular topologies.
