Abstract
The problem of self-organization in wireless mesh networks, is becoming important due to the growth in number of nodes in a network. The Consequently arise the specific problem of manual configuration of individual nodes, it has been either impossible or very expensive. So it is interesting the nodes be configured themselves, whereas they enter transparently in the network. In this work, we propose an alternative architecture for self-organization of wireless mesh networks based on the Mobile Mesh Protocol and agent technology, to identify the main components involved towards the construction of a prototype. We present a formal specification of the architecture in Object-Z, in order to provide a model in high level abstraction to show the applicability of the architecture.
