Abstract
Fusion of cooperative intelligent sensor nodes in a distributed environment can provide a high performance event monitoring system mainly for security issues. Partitioning the hardware design space into entities called agents, which are autonomous units of execution that have the capability of interacting with the environment and each other has been made much more attractive by the recent advances in the capabilities of reconfigurable hardware. In a reconfigurable embedded processing environment one possible benefit is use of multi-agent approach in a common design methodology for both the hardware and software components of the system to do parallel processing with high speed and flexibility. In this paper we will explore the arguments for applying multi-agent techniques to highlight how such techniques can be applied using current-generation hardware description languages in reconfigurable hardware to be suitable for physical environmental security.
