Measuring machine intelligence of an agent-based distributed sensor network system

Abstract

A measure of machine intelligence facilitates comparing alternatives having different complexity. In this paper, a method for measuring the machine intelligence quotient (MIQ) of human-machine cooperative systems is adapted and applied to measure the MIQ of an agent-based distributed sensor network system. Results comparing the MIQ of different agentbased scenarios are presented for the distributed sensor network application. The MIQ comparison is contrasted with the average sensor network field life, a key performance indicator, achieved with each scenario in Monte Carlo simulations. © 2007 Springer.
