Abstract

Today's woreless sensors act as information agents, our eyes and ears, for all tyoes of applications, especially in inaccessible regions. But these sensors are resource-constrained devices; the key challenges remain in exploiting their limited time-life. A crucial factor to achieve this is to develop appropriate mobility models that would assure high information coverage of the desired deployed region within the area. We propose a biologically inspired mobility model to direct sensors' movement towards the target area. We show the benefits asquired in terms of data coverage and efficient resources-utilization
