Abstract :
This paper introduces the needs of information fusion on the sensor networks. It proposes the spatial-temporal channel concept based on the channel theory to support information fusion. Intelligent agents are the suitable tools to build the logic sensor. The paper presents the information fusion scheme and shows that the integration of agent communication mechanism and ontology can improve the ability of intelligent agents so that they can improve information fusion.
