Simulation Environment Showing Energy Conservation for Agilla Middleware

Wireless sensor networks are turning out to be progressively attractive to researchers and industries, due to extensive variety of applications. Middleware serves to overcome the gap between the high-level requirements of the application programs and underlying operations of WSN. Agilla is a portable agent middleware that encourages the rapid deployment of adaptive applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Agilla allows users to create and inject special programs called mobile agents that coordinate through local tuple spaces, and relocate across the WSN performing application-specific tasks. Agents can alterably enter and exit a network and can autonomously clone and migrate themselves in response to environmental changes. AgentInjector can be used to inject agents into a network. A simulation is performed on the mobile agents running on Agilla middleware intended for sensor networks. The simulations are performed using TOSSIM assuming that Agilla middleware is installed on the sensor nodes which are running TinyOS operating system. Simulated is performed on different agents corresponding to various functions and the time taken for agent software to run in the simulated environment is measured. The results of migration delay and reliability in the simulation of agents is calculated.
