MMDS: Multilevel Monitoring and Detection System

The paper presents an agent-based approach for monitoring and detecting different kinds of attacks in wireless networks. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a self-adaptive system that will perform real-time, monitoring, analysis, detection, and generation of appropriate responses to intrusive activities. This multi-agent architecture, which supports necessary agent interactions, uses fuzzy decision support system to generate rules for different attacks by monitoring parameters at multiple levels. The system is able to operate in a wireless network, detect and act in response to events in real-time, according to its broad decision objectives and security policies.
