Description: TOPIC: DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH MOBILE NODES
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Wireless sensor networks have become viable solutions to many commercial and military applications. There is a need to develop standards and robust architectures in this domain which allow effective solutions that can be integrated into existing systems. This research focuses on developing an architecture which supports adaptive, self-healing, and self-aware intelligent wireless sensor networks capable of supporting mobile nodes. Sensor subsystems are crucial in the development of projects such as the Future Combat System, a multi-layered system consisting of soldiers and 18 subsystems connected by a network. The proposed architecture utilizes the SWE, a standard for sensor networks being developed by the OGC, and the I-TRM, a multi-layered technical reference model consisting of a behavior-centric technical reference model, information-centric technical reference model, and control technical reference model. The designed architecture is implemented on MPR2400 motes using the nesC programming language. The architecture supports heterogeneous sensor networks with mobile and immobile sensors nodes.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
