Abstract—Wireless sensor networks are evolving from dedicated application-specific platforms to integrated in-frastructure shared by multiple applications. Shared sen-sor networks offer inherent advantages in terms of flex-ibility and cost since they allow dynamic resource shar-ing and allocation among multiple applications. Such shared systems face the critical need for allocation of nodes to contending applications to enhance the overall Quality of Monitoring (QoM) under resource constraints. To address this need, this paper presents Utility-based Multi-application Allocation and Deployment Environment (UMADE), an integrated application deployment system for shared sensor networks. In sharp contrast to traditional approaches that allocate applications based on cyber metrics (e.g., computing resource utilization), UMADE
