Decentralized Intelligent Real World Embedded Systems: A Tool to Tune Design and Deployment

  • Conference paper
Book cover Advances on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS 2013)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7879))

Abstract

This paper presents an approach and a tool, called MASH, to design of real world decentralized intelligent systems. MASH enables the simulation of distributed systems including virtual and real world embedded nodes according to realistic physical models. We present the key features of this tool and its architecture.
