Abstract
This paper describes an indoor Active Sensor Network, focussing on the implementation aspects of the system, including communication and the application framework. To make the system description more tangible we describe the latest in a series of indoor experiments implemented using ASN. The task is to detect and map motion of people (and robots) in an office space using a network of 12 stationary sensors. The network was operational for several days, with individual platform coming on and off line. On several occasions the network consisted of 39 components. The paper includes a section on the lessons learned during the project’s design and development which may be applicable to other heterogeneous distributed systems with data-intensive algorithms.
