Abstract

This paper describes our ongoing work on a novel data dissemination protocol that adds autonomic features to wireless sensor networks (WSN) for emergency management applications. In our solution, adaptable mobile agents are used to carry out data collection, fusion and delivery of information. The key features of these agents are their novel dynamic addressing scheme and their flexibility to behavior and structure changes that can guarantee the application required quality of service in harsh conditions, such as in fire situations.
