Abstract

We use a wireless sensor network equipped with acceleration sensors to measure seismic waves caused by rolling traffic. In this paper, we report on our experiences in applying an EMF-based data infrastructure to these experiments. We built an experimentation infrastructure that replaces unstructured text-file based management of data with a model-based approach. We use EMF to represent sensor data and corresponding analysis results; we use an extension of EMF's resource API to persist data in a database; and we use model transformations to describe data analysis. We conclude that a model based approach leads to safer, better documented, and more reproducible experiments.
