Architecting Reconfigurable Applications for Sensor Networks: an Active Rule-based Approach

This paper presented an approach for modeling and implementing the architecture of sensor networks reconfigurable applications using an active rule-based model. Considering the adaptability and flexibility of sensor networks applications, the active rule-based model was defined based on a service resource model by combining both the semantic context and the service description. The analysis indicated that the active decision system provided reconfiguration management and non-predefined dynamic reconfiguration management for sensor networks application. The results imply that active rule can easily be constructed, while ensuring good reconfigurability.
