In this position paper, we present MEADOWS, a software framework that we are building at HKUST (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) for modeling, emulation, and analysis of data of wireless sensor networks. This project is motivated by the unique need for intertwining modeling, emulation, and data analysis in studying sensor databases. We describe our design of basic data analysis tools along with an initial case study on HKUST campus. We also report our progress on modeling power consumption for sensor databases and on wireless sensor network emulation for query processing. Additionally, we outline our future directions on MEADOWS for discussion and feedback at the workshop.
