Abstract(s)
This report describes the development of a Test-bed Application for the ART-WiSe Framework with the aim
of providing a means of access, validate and demonstrate that architecture. The chosen application is a kind
of pursuit-evasion game where a remote controlled robot, navigating through an area covered by wireless
sensor network (WSN), is detected and continuously tracked by the WSN. Then a centralized control station
takes the appropriate actions for a pursuit robot to chase and “capture” the intruder one.
This kind of application imposes stringent timing requirements to the underlying communication
infrastructure. It also involves interesting research problems in WSNs like tracking, localization, cooperation
between nodes, energy concerns and mobility. Additionally, it can be easily ported into a real-world
application. Surveillance or search and rescue operations are two examples where this kind of functionality
can be applied.
This is still a first approach on the test-bed application and this development effort will be continuously
pushed forward until all the envisaged objectives for the Art-WiSe architecture become accomplished.
