Abstract :
In the present water-supply monitoring system, every pipe network monitoring point is distributed in the range wide, in large quantity, in long distance, and not centralized, so there is certain difficulty to control. Through bringing in the theory of Multi-Agent, this text has proposed a kind of new-type long-range monitoring system of water-supply based on multi-agent. The system consists of control center agent, monitoring agent federation, as well as inquiring-pay agent. Monitoring agent federation completes the function such as measuring and treatment of the full parameters of all the monitoring points in the entire water-supply system, and is responsible for sending measured data to the control center; after analyses and processes the received messages, control center agent sends the handled data to monitoring agent to go on the new regulation running on the one hand, on the other hand to inquiring-pay agent for users to inquire and pay. This system, which has many advantages such as communication swift and coordination convenient, is of greater practical value to the monitoring field of water-supply in which monitoring points are dispersed, the amount of data transmission is larger, and nobody is on duty.
