A Self-Configuring Sensing System for Data Centers
نویسندگان
چکیده
State of the art data centers use wired sensors embedded in equipment for thermal monitoring. The high cost of sensor installation restricts equipment relocation. We propose using a wireless self-locating network of smart sensing nodes, called SmartLOCUS, for automatic sensor configuration. We explore how to design the sensor control software to be self-reconfiguring when nodes relocate. The software is divided in three layers: network organization, data aggregation and visualization. In this paper, we identify several insights into the thermal monitoring requirements, design issues and initial design solutions for these layers.

Evaluation of an Intrusion Detection System for Routing Attacks in Wireless Self-organised Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) arebecoming increasingly popular, and very useful in militaryapplications and environmental monitoring. However,security is a major challenge for WSNs because they areusually setup in unprotected environments. Our goal in thisstudy is to simulate an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)that monitors the WSN and report intrusions accurately andeffectively. We have thus...
متن کاملA New Structure for Direct Measurement of Temperature Based on Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor and Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System
Thermistors are very commonly used for narrow temperature-range high-resolution applications, such as in medicine, calorimetry, and near ambient temperature measurements. In particular, Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is very inexpensive and highly sensitive, whose sensing temperature range and sensitivity are highly limited due to the intrinsic nonlinearity and self-heating p...
متن کاملAutomated wildlife monitoring using self-configuring sensor networks deployed in natural habitats
To understand the complex interactions among animals within an ecosystem, biologists need to be able to track their location and social interactions. There are a variety of factors that make this difficult. We propose using adaptive, embedded networked sensing technologies to develop an efficient means for wildlife monitoring. This paper surveys our research; we demonstrate how a self-organizin...
متن کاملOn the Utilization of Heterogeneous Sensors and System Adaptability for Opportunistic Activity and Context Recognition
Opportunistic activity and context recognition systems draw from the characteristic to utilize sensors as they happen to be available instead of predefining a fixed sensing infrastructure at design time of the system. Thus, the kinds and modalities of sensors are not predefined. Sensors of different types and working characteristics shall be used equally if the delivered environmental quantity ...
متن کاملA Self-Configuring Distributed Kernel for Satellite Networks
The Space Software Laboratory is developing a self-configuring distributed kernel to be used on future satellite missions. The completion of this system will allow a network of heterogeneous processor nodes to communicate and broadcast in a scalable, self-configuring manner. Node applications software will be transparent to the underlying network architecture, message routing, and number of net...
