Dynamic Sensor Networks

Abstract

The DSN team investigated hardware and software technologies for unattended ground sensor applications. Task I: Distribution and Aggregation includes node localization techniques, low-power data link protocols, power aware routing protocols, and spatial addressing and routing. Task 2: Declarative Languages and Execution Environment includes topographical soldier interface and a sensor network simulation environment for algorithm development, deployment planning, and operational support. Finally, Task 3: Platforms include investigative hardware development to support laboratory communications, processing, or localization experiments as well as open-source COTS PDA integration and system software in support of the soldier interface.
