The SECOAS Project: development of a self-organising, wireless sensor network for environmental monitoring
Matthew Britton, L. Sacks · Adelaide Research & Scholarship (AR&S) (University of Adelaide) · 2005
In this paper, we examine the SECOAS project which aims to design and field a self-organising, wireless sensor network for environmental monitoring. We examine the background of the project and follow the design through to an implementation in field trials. We show how implementation issues led to several significant changes in the direction of the project. We explore one aspect of the project—the operating system kOS—in detail, and explain the rationale for various design decisions. The lessons learnt during this process will be of interest to other researchers and developers in the areas of wireless sensor networks.
