Arquitectura de gestión multi-agente para un sistema de control distribuido domótico.

Abstract

Currently the applications of intelligent agents, especially in the field of home automation and automated environments, contribute to the requirements of the current market, which is why it seeks to provide new solutions every time. The investigations carried out have focused on the analysis of large-scale devices and no control architecture has been found that allow the application of this technology in smart home automation environments. This research is focused specifically on the field of automation and home automation, using tools that will allow the modeling of the system, it is a network of wireless sensors with low-cost components, of at least four nodes that can interact with each other at distances short (supervision, communication, storage and interface node), with different sensors and actuators that allow the analysis and study of the behavior of management agents in an automated environment and the efficiency of the protocols developed. The distributed architecture used in the management system made it possible to maintain the home automation structure in correct operation, based on the distribution of the tasks assigned to each of the implicit agents. As each agent had their own microcontroller (ESP8266), the process of executing the actions was facilitated throughout the development of the procedure. The Petri nets contributed with the concrete outlining of the tasks performed by each agent and with obtaining the necessary tests that yielded positive results in terms of verifying the correct functioning of the system.
