Abstract
This chapter proposes the agent‐oriented paradigm for the modeling and implementation of body sensor networks (BSNs). After introducing background concepts on the agent‐computing paradigm and, specifically, on software agents in the wireless sensor network (WSN) context, the chapter discusses motivations and challenges on the exploitation of agents for BSNs and provides a description of the related state‐of‐the‐art. The chapter then presents agent‐based modeling and implementation of BSNs. Furthermore, the chapter discusses related work and a qualitative comparison among the most diffused (mobile) agent platforms for WSNs. Finally, it focuses on agent‐oriented BSN application development based on Mobile Agent Platform for Sun SPOT (MAPS). Specifically, a MAPS‐based human activity recognition BSN system, and main components of the MAPS architecture: mobile agent, mobile agent execution engine, mobile agent migration manager, mobile agent communication channel, mobile agent naming, timer manager and resource manager are described.
