Evaluation of System Effectiveness (SE) plays a significant role in network design, construction, optimization, etc. of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This paper develops a rational and comprehensive five-layer indicator model which incarnates SE or monomial efficiency of WSNs. Also, we propose a valid evaluation model HFCE with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE), both of which combined together is suitable for hierarchical indicator model and multiattribute decision analysis of WSNs. The results obtained from simulation demonstrate practicability of indicator model and accuracy of evaluation model.
