X-Sensor: Wireless Sensor Network Testbed Integrating Multiple Networks

  • Chapter
Wireless Sensor Network Technologies for the Information Explosion Era

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 278))

Abstract

This chapter describes a wireless sensor network testbed, named XSensor, that integrates multiple sensor networks. X-Sensor manages multiple wireless sensor networks constructed at different sites, which can be accessed by remote users. This makes easy for users to conduct experiments in different environments. Moreover, X-Sensor provides real sensor data acquired by sensor nodes in each sensor network, which are useful for researchers working on research fields related to sensor data such as sensor data mining and analysis.
