As part of a master thesis supervised by the project leader we developed and implemented a TopoSWiM (Topology simulator in Scalable Wireless Mesh networks) software tool, which supports topology design for large scale wireless mesh networks, including wireless sensor networks. The tool combines mathematical approach of topology design, based on graph theory, and physical model for the propagation of radio signal that takes into account also the configuration of the terrain. The tool provides high degree of flexibility in terms of network parameters and operating scenarios, the use of embedded or custom developed clustering algorithms, user-friendly visualisation of generated topologies and comparison of topologies generated with different settings in near real time also for networks with several thousands nodes. Due to its modular structure the tool can be expanded in the future with procedures for interactive composition of sensor networks, which will be developed in the project J2-4197. The tool was made available to the broader research community for use free of charge and for further development (http://sensorlab.ijs.si/software.html).
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 25491239In the Internet of Things research area the members of the project team also collaborate in the competence centre KC OPCOMM, where they are responsible for research and development of novel concepts for wireless sensor networks. One member of the team was invited to present at the international event Living Bits and Things 2011 recent research work and achievements of the group in the areas of the development of wireless sensor network platform, support for the implementation of semantic sensor networks and deployment of large-scale outdoor experimental sensor network testbed LOG-a-TEC.
