Selection of Secure Actors in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks Using Fuzzy Logic

In Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), sensors and actors collaborate together to get the information about the physical environment and perform appropriate actions. In order to provide effective sensing and acting, a distributed local coordination mechanism is necessary among sensors and actors. In this work, we consider the actor node selection problem and we propose a fuzzy-based system that based on data provided by sensors and actors selects an appropriate actor node. We use 4 input parameters. Different from our previous work, we consider also the security. The output parameter is Actor Selection Decision (ASD). The simulation results show that the proposed system selects secure actor nodes in order to have short delays, low energy consumption and proper task assignment.
