Abstract

Intelligent agents and multi-agent systems are efficient tools for studying and simulating Information and Communication Technology Infrastructures and, more particularly, the Internet of Moving Things. Based on a case study in the military and defense field, we worked on building and simulating this kind of infrastructure with smart mobile devices simulated as intelligent agents, to study their behavior in real situations. The efficiency of the mobile devices is estimated with some indicators that, generated after every simulation, allow measuring their performance.
