Organisation multi-agent pour la gouvernance de systèmes Machine-to-Machine

The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) paradigm involves devices (sensors, actuators) interacting together to provide services located in the physical world. As the technology is gaining maturity, there is a growing need for mutualized solutions in which applications can share a common set of devices. In this context, the SensCity project proposes an infrastructure to enable mutualized city scale applications. Implementing such an infrastructure raises the problem of providing an agile governance with respect to scalability. Besides, Multi-Agent technologies grant adaptability, flexibility and proactivity properties to such a decentralized applications. Thus, this paper proposes a Multi-Agent organization for expressing the governance strategy of such systems. Using the MOIS E framework, we illustrate how it is used within a smart parking management application.
