Murphy Loves Potatoes: Experiences from a Pilot Sensor Network Deployment in Precision Agriculture
Koen G. Langendoen, Aline Baggio, Otto W. Visser · 2006
We report on preliminary experiences with deploying a large-scale sensor network (about 100 nodes) for a pilot in precision agriculture. The pilot did not answer the initial research questions, but instead revealed many engineering problems typically overlooked by (com-puter) scientists evaluating their work by means of simulation. The deployment prompted us to rethink our development process and includes important lessons for the WSN research community as a whole. 1.
