Misun Yu, Junkeun Song, Jin Won Kim, Kee-Young Shin, Pyeong Soo Mah · International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology · 2007
In this paper, we present a sensor network monitoring software, named NanoMon, which has a highly flexible architecture and is able to support various user requirements arising in their individual wireless sensor network applications in an adaptive manner. With NanoMon, users can specify their own sensor types and custom GUI components by using a simply describable configuration file; and it can be automatically integrated to NanoMon GUI framework to support user-specific sensor network applications. NanoMon employs a widely used database, MySQL, to manage sensing data and node information of several types of sensor network applications and also to provide sensor data history and conditional sensor data look up functions. NanoMon provides well defined packet form at and transmission procedure to communicate with various sensor network platforms with no dependency on any specific WSN platforms; and it can publish sensing data received from sensor networks to other external monitoring devices via Internet using well defined XML packet format and transmission procedure. For platform independency, NanoMon is implemented in Java language.
