Wireless Sensor Networks: the TinyLime experience!

In the the past i spent some time working on Wireless Sensor Networks. The most complete result of this research has been the design and development of TinyLIME, in collaboration with GianPietro Picco and Amy Murphy, the original designer and developer of LIME.

TinyLIME is a middleware for wireless sensor networks (WSN) that departs from the traditional WSN setting where sensor data is collected by a central monitoring station, and enables instead multiple mobile monitoring stations to access the sensors in their proximity and share the collected data through wireless links. This intrinsically context-aware setting is demanded by applications where the sensors are sparse and possibly isolated, and where on-site, location-dependent data collection is required. An extension of LIME, TinyLIME makes sensor data available through a tuple space interface, providing the illusion of shared memory between applications and sensors. Data aggregation capabilities and a power-savvy architecture complete the middleware features.
