jWebDust : A Java-Based Generic Application Environment for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract. Wireless sensor networks can be very useful in applications that require the detection of crucial events, in physical environments subjected to critical conditions, and the propagation of data reporting their realization to a control center. In this paper we propose jWebDust, a generic and modular application environment for developing and managing applications that are based on wireless sensor networks. Our software architecture provides a range of services that allow to create customized applications with minimum implementation effort that are easy to administrate. We move beyond the ”networking-centric” view of sensor network research and focus on how the end user (administrator, control center supervisor, etc.) will visualize and interact with the system. We here present its open architecture, the most important design decisions, and discuss its distinct features and functionalities. jWebDust allows heterogeneous components to interoperate (real world sensor networks ...
