An architecture based on biologically-inspired (botany) mobile agent based sensor (BIMAS) is proposed to tackle the energy issues of sensor networks. BIMAS handles the energy issues by exploiting mobile agents that communicates with static sensor nodes and forwards sensed data to a base station. The introduction of mobile agents brings benefit in terms of shifting routing issues away from sensor nodes to mobile agents. The advantage of BIMAs can be shown in terms of efficient energy resources, fault-tolerance and efficient handling of hole problems. © 2010 IEEE. AV - none CY - Kuala Lumpur ER -
