A mobile agent approach to opportunistic harvesting in wireless sensor networks

Published: 12 May 2008 Publication History

Abstract

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.
