A Mobile Agent Approach to Opportunistic Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks (Demo Paper)
Richard Tynan, Conor Muldoon · 2008
This demonstration illustrates the feasibility of harvesting data from a WSN by interested parties, either in the WSN coverage area or in a remote location. Embedded and mobile agents are harnessed for the data capture process. Individual nodes communicate with gateways to which, user devices connect. Users can query and view the local data in an ad-hoc manner, and possibly remotely configure and manipulate the data capture process. It is envisaged that the combination of embedded and mobile agents offer a dynamic method of sensor data viewing and processing, either in situ, or in a central repository. may be reduced; in the later case, the actual usefulness of the WSN is compromised. Thus a solution is called for that enables the WSN be accessed, queried and configured while in the field, as well as centrally.
