Demo: A distributed architecture for heterogeneous multi sensor-task allocation

Abstract

To complement our paper “A Distributed Architecture For Heterogeneous Multi-Sensor Task Allocation” published in DCOSS 2011 conference proceedings, we will demonstrate the current implementation of our architecture for Multi-Sensor Task Allocation (MSTA) shown in Figure 1. This consists of a prototype interface for task submission, and a simulated sensor network serving other mobile users on the field competing for the same sensing resources. The prototype interface is implemented on two different mobile devices (iPhone & iPad <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> ), dynamically interacting with a heterogeneous sensor network simulated in Java on top of the REPAST Symphony <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> discrete time simulation environment.
