Configuration Interface for Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks

Authors

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are deployed to sense, monitor and act on the environment. Some applications of these networks, especially in industrial sense and react scenarios, require high performance and guaranties. Our work is focused on building a system that allows configuring/reconfiguring alarms, actions or closed-loop techniques in the context of GINSENG project – wireless sensor networks with performance control guarantees. We propose an approach for interaction with real-world devices through a web services interface, allowing users to configure and apply various operations, including complex closed-loop techniques that monitor and act over any actuator in the WSN. To allow the interaction between a client application and the motes we implemented an API to access services of the motes.
