IoT-a, Embedded Agents for Smart Internet of Things. Application on a Display Wall

Our goal is to bring smart algorithms as close as possible to the hardware level of physical objects.We propose to consider smart objects as "Internet of Things - Agents" (IoT-a) in which each object follows,in its design and in its core, multiagent protocols and architecture. We focus our work on an embedded low-level multiagent architecture - named Triskell3S - and its underlying communication protocols.A key challenge for the IoT is to allow the components to interact together, which requires common protocols of communication and interoperability. Our proposal is to study the interaction in the oriented agent approach, generally used in multiagent based simulations. In order to experiment the Triskell3S architecture in a real context, we propose a reconfigurable display wall where eachscreen module is composed by a screen and an embedded card. Each IoT-a is then a smart screen module that communicateswith the other wall modules to display a synchronized video. Finally, our benchmark to test the efficiency of our communication protocols relies on the distributed approach of N-puzzle solving.The agent interactions on the display wall allow to recompose a video based on all the premixed screens in real time.
