Abstract

This paper presents an artificial immune system, using a Zig-Bee wireless mesh, to detect the onset of frost in an agricultural setting. The system was first tested using a small simulation and further validated by a physical implementation. The implementation validated the hypothesis by testing the application in a real-world setting, but also revealed several limiting factors that were not detected during the simulation phase. The implementation encompassed the development of both the middleware and a monitoring and data-logging application.
