Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a significant research area in recent years as they play an increasingly important role in bridging the gap between the physical and the virtual world. However, programming wireless sensor networks is extremely challenging. Middleware for WSNs supports the development of sensing-based applications and facilitates programming wireless sensor networks. Middleware is the software that sits in the middle of applications and operating system. There is a large amount of research on middleware development for WSNs.
In this thesis, a first attempt is made to simulate mobile agents running on Agilla middleware using a software application. A Java application (Agilla Simulator) is developed and different agents corresponding to various functions are simulated. The performance of the network, namely the time it takes to execute the agents on the simulator is measured. The results of migration delay and reliability in the simulations of different agents are compared with those of the real world experiments. The comparison results presented in the study show that simulations produce results comparable to real life experiments.
