Advances in micro-sensor and wireless sensor network (WSN) technology will enable small but smart sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. This requires flexible and adaptable methods for distributing queries (queries generated by sink nodes to relevant sensor nodes that have observed interesting events in the network) and getting responses in a WSN. The paper proposes an agent based method to perform following: 1) generate an event path from the source node (where the event has occurred) to end node placed at either the adjacent or opposite boundaries of the area of WSN, 2) generate a query path from the sink node to discover an event by using an event path. The proposed method is simulated in various network scenarios and performance is analyzed in terms of successful real-time event (route to event) discovery and agent overheads. It is noticed that performance improved with more number of event paths. Agents offer flexible and adaptable services and also support component based software development.
