Abstract

Query processing techniques have been shown to considerably reduce software development efforts for wireless sensor networks. However, deploying a sensor network remains a difficult and error-prone task. This paper presents a comprehensive tool to assist with the design of sensor network deployments, which takes into account a broader range of concerns than previous approaches. Users specify high-level requirements, such as location of nodes, using a simple graphical interface. The tool invokes a sensor network query processor to statically determine the validity of the deployment set out by the user for a given query workload, estimates performance in terms of the query processor’s QoS metrics, and generates executable code.

    The source code is available from our repository at https://github.com/david7189/wsn-dd on an MIT license.

  2. 2.

    In the case of WSN-DD, these concerns are delegated to the SNEE query optimiser, which uses cost models to determine whether meeting a given QoS expectation is feasible [8].
