Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are difficult to manage and control due to their large geographical distribution and the lack of visual feedback. Tasks of configuration, debugging, monitoring and role assignment are only possible with access to the running application. With SCOPE we developed a generic management framework for such networks. It can be integrated in every TinyOS application to monitor and adjust application values such as configuration variables, sensor readings or other data. To be most flexible a generic approach was taken to read and set variables by Remote Instance Calls. SCOPE is a demon application running on every mote and sending the desired data to a Java application on a PC with network access. This enables the system administrator to manage and control every single node by adjusting these values. This paper describes the architecture and use of the SCOPE framework as well as comparies it with other non-commercial state-of-the-art system management frameworks for wireless sensor networks.
