Abstract:
This paper proposes a clustering algorithm tailored for multiple applications in Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) called Clustering Algorithm for Multiple Applications in a WSAN (CAMAW). CAMAW is an application aware clustering algorithm, since besides sharing the WSAN infrastructure with multiple applications simultaneously, it clusters the nodes according to each application requirements. The main benefits of using CAMAW are: (i) it is an energy-efficiency algorithm for WSANs since it reduces data traffic, by multiplexing data of a same monitoring type for several applications and (ii) is a dynamic clustering algorithm because it organizes WSAN in groups faces the arrival and the departure of running applications at runtime. CAMAW outperforms the traditional clustering algorithms regarding network lifetime in all considered scenarios.
