A Survey of Available Tools for Developing Wireless Sensor Networks
Guodong Teng, Kougen Zheng, Wei Dong · 2008
In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been an area of significant research. The challenges regarding programming, monitoring, managing WSNs are increasing dramatically, and challenges for the corresponding tools as well. This paper covers the whole scope of the WSN development life cycle and describes the major components for developing WSNs, then provides a survey of some of the software tools currently available to assist in the development of WSNs, and finally presents challenges for developing WSNs. These challenges for future development tools of WSNs provide some motivations and objectives.
