Résumé

Les réseaux de capteurs sans fil (Rcsf) sont une nouvelle technologie qui a surgit après les grands progrès technologiques concernant le développement des capteurs intelligents, des processeurs puissants et des protocoles de communication sans fil, leurs composants de base. Ce type de réseau, composé de centaines ou de milliers d’éléments, a pour but la collecte de données de l’environnement, leur traitement et leur dissémination vers le monde extérieur. Les éléments de réseau, nommés nuds capteurs, ont de petites dimensions et de sévères contraintes de ressources, notamment énergie, traitement et communication. On s’attend que les rcsf soient intelligents, autonomes et connaisseurs du contexte où ils s’insèrent. Afin d’atteindre ces buts, ils doivent exécuter leur propre gestion, c’est-à-dire, ils doivent être autogérés. Dans cet article, nous proposons une solution de gestion pour ce type de réseau, basée sur le paradigme des systèmes autonomes. On présente un cas d’étude d’une rcsf hétérogène et hiérarchique, qui collecte et dissémine continûment les données pour montrer que l’autogestion augmente la productivité du réseau et contrôle la qualité des services offerts.

Abstract

The wireless sensor networks (Wsn) are a novel technology that has appeared after great advancements in the development of intelligent sensors, powerful microprocessors, and communication protocols, their basic components. This kind of network is composed by hundreds to thousands of elements and has the objective of data collecting, processing, and disseminating to a point of interest. The network elements, named sensors nodes, have small dimensions and resource restrictions, especially the energy, the processing, and the communication capacities. It is expected that theWsn are intelligent, autonomic, and context aware. To reach such an objective, they are supposed to perform the management of themselves, i.e., be self-managed. In this article, we propose a management solution for such a sort of network, based on the autonomic computing paradigm. In order to show that self-management can improve the productivity of the network and control the quality of the provided services, we present a case study of a heterogeneous and hierarchicWsn that collects and disseminates data continuously.
