Assessment of Health Monitoring System Using Sdl Formal Method

Sensor nodes are highly mobile, which makes the application running on them face network related problems like node failure, link failure, network level disconnection, scarcity of resources etc. Node failure and Network fault are need to be monitored continuously by supervising the network status especially for critical applications like Health Monitoring System. We propose Node Monitoring protocol (NMP) to monitor the node good conditions using agents and ensure that node gets promised quality of service. These Nodes senses environment and communicates important data to the sink or base station. To establish the correct event time, these nodes need to be synchronized with global clock. Therefore, time synchronization is very important parameter. We have built a simulating environment for Validating Node Monitoring Protocol (NMP) to assess the reliability of Health Monitoring systems. Formal Specification and Description Language tool (SDL) has been used to validate the NMP at design time in order to increase the confidence and efficiency of the system.
