Architecture for running multiple applications on a single wireless sensor network: A proposal

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks have gained much attention from researchers as well as from the industrialists in the recent past. Usually, wireless sensor networks are deployed per application based. This limitation has restricted its deployment in commercial applications, which require to running multiple applications on a single wireless sensor network infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a simple architecture for running multiple applications on a single wireless sensor network. Our proposed system is based on the middleware concept in which an application manager module controls the switching among different applications with the help of a mobile agent. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
