Abstract


One of the most important natural resources for the ecosystem is water. However, this feature has been suffering from the impact of pollution. To work around this problem, alternatives as Multi-Agent-Systems (MAS) can be used. From this technique, it is possible to develop virtual systems similar to reality, where the action of the agents and their consequences in the environment can be analyzed, and the results of future scenarios can be used to prevent possible problems within the system. In this paper, a MAS, called Pollution X Drone, is presented in detail. In this model, it is possible to analyze the impact of pollution on the environment, and how technologies, such as the drone, can help reduce and control pollution.
