Abstract

We describe the approach taken in the design of the interface for a system that helps application engineers who are not trained in computer science/engineering to design sensor networks. We cite various taxonomies from the senor network literature that guided the design of the interface. We then describe the overall structure of the system to set the context for how the human interacts with it. We present some examples of the kind of data required to design a sensor network and describe how our interface collects that information. We note at many points in the presentation that a deep understanding of the data of the application allows for the design of an appropriate interface.
