S ensor networks offer economically viable solutions for a variety of applications. For example, current implementations monitor factory instrumentation, pollution levels, freeway traffic, and the structural integrity of buildings. Other applications include climate sensing and control in office buildings and home environmental sensing systems for temperature, light, moisture, and motion. Senso...

Network throughput and energy conservation are two conflicting important performance metrics for wireless sensor networks. Since these two objectives are in conflict with each other, it is difficult to achieve them simultaneously. In this paper, a joint duty cycle scheduling and energy aware routing approach is proposed based on evolutionary game theory which is called DREG. Making a trade-off ...

We demonstrate a tool that allows inspection and debugging of deployed wireless sensor networks (WSN) by analyzing overheard radio messages. This tool can identify common problems such as node crashes, reboots, routing problems, and network partitions without instrumentation of sensor nodes. Existing approaches to identify performance problems and bugs in deployed WSN such as Sympathy [5] requi...

Environmental monitoring is evolving towards large-scale and low-cost sensor networks operating reliability and autonomously over extended periods of time. Sophisticated analytical instrumentation such as chemo-bio sensors present inherent limitations because of the number of samples that they can take. In order to maximize their deployment lifetime, we propose the coordination of multiple hete...

A fully automatic anemometer calibrator intended for performing fast and accurate calibrations has been developed to fulfil the increasing demand and strict requirements of the wind energy industry. Different sensors are connected to a computer where a virtual environment acquires and processes the incoming signals and controls a wind tunnel, allowing the calibration of the anemometer at the pr...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

energy consumption is considered as a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (wsns). batteries of sensor nodes have limited power supply which in turn limits services and applications that can be supported by them. an efcient solution to improve energy consumption and even trafc in wsns is data aggregation (da) that can reduce the number of transmissions. two main challenges for da are: (i)...

This paper presents an approach to integrate wireless sensor networks (WSN) with the LabVIEW graphical development environment through a dedicated software driver. As personal constribution, a system architecture and concept implementation are described, in the context of a smart house monitoring scenario. Data acquisition is performed via the deployed wireless sensor network with focus on thre...
