Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being used in a variety of applications including environmental monitoring, event detection, object tracking, and healthcare applications. Network management of WSNs is one of the key practical challenges that arise from the increasing number of applications and technologies deployed. This work presents a web-based integrated network and data management system that is aimed at: (1) systematically supporting heterogeneous WSNs with a unified management system; (2) presenting a clear separation between WSN management and application functions; and (3) offering management functionalities with a clear user interface. In this paper we present the design and implementation of this WSN management system and report its deployment in a real-world WSN testbed for environmental monitoring.
