Abstract

Our contribution in this paper is a scalable, easily implemented, self-organizing, energy conserving intrusion-detection sensor system applying concepts from cellular automata theory. The system self-assembles periodic wake-sensor barriers (waves) that sweep the sensor field; it is highly effective even in the case of frequent communication failures, sensor failures, large obstacles, and when intruders know sensor locations.
