Abstract

As an emerging technology, many researches have been focused on enhancing sensor networks in the recent years. For improving the quality of service, researchers have concentrated on the notion of mobility as a means to change the network topology. Considering each node as an intelligent agent, and using the concepts of the theory of auctions, this paper introduces a novel game theoretical approach to the sensor management problem. By obviating unnecessary communication among the nodes, and offering task changing capability to them the new method addresses more network compatibility to uncertain tasks
