The Architecture of Fuzzy Agent in Rescuer Monitoring System

Malaysia is a developing country and currently experiences a new emerging safety issue, which considered as critical. Country likes Malaysia is in aggressive mission to develop its country by year 2020. In the effort to achieve developed country, it requires development in each industry. There will be more works should be done by workers in the same duration compares to the last few years. With lots of tasks, people get stress out and this will lead to mistakes. Unsafe action sometimes cause accidents, worst may cause death. Especially hazardous works such as professional that need to work in manhole, low oxygen level confined space, underwater and fire fighter. This people need to be monitored during their operation to ensure their safety, thus the operation can complete successfully. In this study, we focus on the personal monitoring for fire fighter during their rescue operation. An agent based monitoring system using type-1 fuzzy logic is simulated to see the effect on personal's parameters, such as breathing rate, breathing air level and body motion. A case study has been done to get the real fuzzy data which gathered by sensors to be tested using Mamdani type-1 fuzzy method. The result produced a reliable crisp output which then processed by the system to alerts the fire fighter any predicted accident that might happen. Intelligent agent adopted in this engine helps monitoring system act autonomously and process a reliable decision. This engine generate precise and reliable output from fuzzy input as we deal with human lives. As the result, injuries or fatality during works can be reduced.

A Mobile Agent-Based System for Server Resource Monitoring

Abstract Mobile agent technology has become an important approach for the design and development of distributed systems. Currently, there is little research regarding the efficiency of mobile agent-based monitoring of the server resource. Based on the Mobile-C library, a mobile agent-based system called Mobile Agent- Based Server Resource Monitoring System (MABSRMS) is presented. In MABSRMS mobile agents can call low level functions in binary dynamic or static libraries, and thus can monitor server resource conveniently and efficiently. The experiment was conducted in a university computer center with hundreds of computer workstations and 15 server machines. The experiment uses the MABSRMS to detect system resources, such as available hard disk space, CPU usage and main memory usage. The experiment shows that the mobile agent-based monitoring system is a practical way to monitor server resources in large scale distributed computer centers.

Formal Development of Hierarchical Agent-Based Monitoring Systems for Dynamically Reconfigurable NoC Platforms

Sophisticated applications deployed on multi-core platforms require many resources as well as dynamic monitoring of the platform to provide efficiently and reliably the needed functionality. In this paper, the authors propose an approach to formal modelling with adequate tool support of an agent-based system whose function is to dynamically monitor the state of the multi-core platform and perform reconfiguration procedures under faults. For this purpose, the authors use the Event-B formalism which allows them to stepwise develop correct-by-construction specifications by mathematical proofs. Furthermore, the formalism enables the decomposition of a specification, which makes it possible to implement a well-structured and hierarchical agent-based monitoring system.
