Octopus: A Dashboard for Sensor Networks Visual Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this demonstration, we present Octopus, an interactive dashboard and visualization tool for Wireless Sensor Networks. Octopus helps developers with network debugging, network assessment, and gaining an understanding of network topology and routing patterns. For the final users, it provides a user-friendly tool to localize nodes, formulate application queries and tune parameters according to application requirements. Octopus enables interacting with the network by monitoring and reconfiguring a number of parameters of application and radio, such as frequency channel, nodes’ duty-cycle and energy consumption. A Network Chart plots live data for network analysis while a 2D Floor Plan allows node localization support. Octopus is open-source software developed specifically for TinyOS version 2 that provides a modular architecture independent from the lower layers. Therefore, Octopus can also be utilized as an effective debugging and assessment tool for new underlying algorithms and modules.

Improving Energy-Efficient Target Coverage in Visual Sensor Networks
Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) ...

متن کاملOctopus: monitoring, visualization, and control of sensor networks
Sensor network monitoring and control are currently addressed separately through specialized tools. However, the high degree of coupling of network state to the physical environment in which the network is deployed demands that users can monitor the network and respond to network state changes continuously. This paper presents the open-source Octopus visualization and control tool. Octopus is a...
متن کاملMulti-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...
