An Adaptive Framework for Wireless Sensor Network Application Development

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is generally observed as a service layer for providing context information to Pervasive Computing applications. Acquiring this vital context information using WSN demands special skill-sets from the developer and is tightly coupled with the application requirements. The developer needs to evaluate several combination of services like routing, localization, time synchronization, security protocols to fulfill the application requirements. In this paper we justify the need and propose a system architecture of an Adaptive Framework for WSN Application (AFWA) that hosts the application workflow from development to deployment. This framework provides a flexibility for opting the required services based on the application needs and abstracts the application developer from the intricacies of WSN system components.
