A survey on agent learning architecture that adopts internet of things and wireless sensor networks

Trustworthy and reliable applications built using intelligent software agents aim to provide improved performance using its characteristics. Agents introduced in various architectures represent its functionality as functional elements of the architecture and shows the interaction between other components present in the architecture. The Internet of things (IoT) reveals as a frequent technology that allows accessing the physical objects present in the world. IoT systems utilize wireless sensor network to transmit and receive data by establishing communication. Wireless Sensor Networks transmits digital signals to the cyber-world for analyzing and processing the information into useful data by either formulating or communicating with the intelligent and innovative system. While talking about IoT and WSN, agents introduced in such environments assist in making decisions quickly by perceiving the input from the environment. The number of agents needed for an application depends upon the complexity of the problem. Multi-Agent architectures discussed in the article describe their association, roles, functionality and interaction. This paper gives a detailed survey of various agent/multi-agent learning architectures introduced over IoT and WSN. Moreover, this survey with the performance and the SWOT analysis on the Agent-based learning architecture helps the reader and paves a way to pursue research on Agent-based architectural deployment over IoT and WSN paradigms.
