Abstract
To make embedded devices (IoT edge devices) decentralized, autonomous, collaborative, and intelligent, we introduce agent technology and multi-agent systems architecture. It targets to overcome the issues faced by centralized IoT systems such as security, single point of failure, latency, and computational complexity. To make these devices decentralized, collaborative, and autonomous, their way of communication and capability to act to the stimuli from the environment need to be enhanced. And for making them intelligent, the devices should be capable enough to make a decision based on the previous actions performed in the ecosystem. In this approach, agent technology has been used as a backbone for making devices autonomous and collaborative. We discuss implementation of the same using automated, IoT enabled digital book trading platform.
