The 6th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Ne tworks and Technologies (ANT 2015) On-Demand Customizable Wireless Sensor Network

In this paper, we propose a wireless sensor network (WSN) whose behavior can be dynami cally customized by injecting programs or roles specified by the user. To enable easy specification of the roles, a role-generation mechanism is also proposed. To realize the WSN, we introduce a reconfigurable wireless sensor node that has an u ltra-low-power field-programmable gate array (FPGA) as well as a low-power microcontroller unit (MCU). By injecting several different roles into the sensor nodes, we confirmed that the behavior of the WSN can be changed on demand. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
