  2. nesC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NesC

    nesC (pronounced "NES-see") is a component-based, event-driven programming language used to build applications for the TinyOS platform. TinyOS is an operating environment designed to run on embedded devices used in distributed wireless sensor networks. nesC is built as an extension to the C programming language with components "wired" together to run applications on TinyOS.

  3. Wireless sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_sensor_network

    Macro-programming is a term coined by Matt Welsh. It refers to programming the entire sensor network as an ensemble, rather than individual sensor nodes. Another way to macro-program a network is to view the sensor network as a database, which was popularized by the TinyDB system developed by Sam Madden.

  4. Sensor node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_node

    A microcontroller is often used in many sensor nodes due to its low cost, flexibility to connect to other devices (or nodes in a network), ease of programming, and low power consumption. A general purpose microprocessor generally has a higher power consumption than a microcontroller, making it an undesirable choice for a sensor node.

    Wireless sensor network is a new paradigm in designing fault tolerant mission critical systems, to enable varied applications like threat detection, environmental monitoring, traditional sensing and actuation and much more. It is an emerging area of inter-disciplinary research between people in the electrical engineering, computer science, and ...

  6. Sensor Media Access Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_Media_Access_Control

    Sensor Media Access Control(S-MAC) is a network protocol for sensor networks. Sensor networks consist of tiny, wirelessly communicating computers (sensor nodes), which are deployed in large numbers in an area to network independently and as long as monitor their surroundings in group work with sensors, to their energy reserves are depleted.

  7. Sensor grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_grid

    The concept of a sensor grid was first defined in the Discovery Net project where a distinction was made between “sensor networks” and “sensor grids”. [1] [2]Briefly whereas the design of a sensor network addresses the logical and physical connectivity of the sensors, the focus of constructing a sensor grid is on the issues relating to the data management, computation management ...

  8. Virtual sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_sensor_network

    A virtual sensor network (VSN) in computing and telecommunications is an emerging form of collaborative wireless sensor networks. [1] In contrast to early wireless sensor networks that were dedicated to a specific application (e.g., target tracking), VSNs enable multi-purpose, collaborative, and resource efficient WSNs.

  9. Sensor network query processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_network_query_processor

    A sensor network query processor (SNQP), also called a sensorDB, is a user-friendly interface for programming and running applications which translates instructions from declarative programming language with high-level instructions to low-level instructions understood by the operating system.
