Abstract:
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the sensor nodes are typically resource limited. This fact forces nodes to collaborate in order to implement their tasks. In this paper, we propose and implement a model that represents the various types of collaboration relationships that can be established in a WSN. This involves identifying and analyzing the different types of collaboration that may occur in any WSN. As a result, we propose a hierarchy composed by different types and levels of collaboration, and we propose a collaborative session management tool, called WISE-MANager. This tool allows bringing these concepts into practice, more precisely to the establishment of collaborative sessions. WISE-MANager optimizes the WSN operation and increases the user control on the network monitoring.
