Abstract--This paper presents the main results obtained in
the Agencies for PErception in environmental monitoring (APE)
Project, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Re-
search, and aimed at studying the employment of advanced dis-
tributed artificial intelligence techniques in developing cooperative
multiagent systems oriented to support environmental monitor-
ing applications. In particular, this paper describes issues about
communication between perceptive agents and two implemented
multiagent systems for monitoring electromagnetic fields and for
pollutant evaluation.
Index Terms--Air pollution, cooperative systems, electromag-
netic fields (EMFs), mobile robots, robot sensing systems, sensor
networks, smart sensors.
