Design and analysis of virtualization framework for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used in many application areas including health, agriculture and gaming. New advances in sensor technology make it pertinent to consider sharing a deployed WSN infrastructure by multiple applications, including applications which are designed after the WSN deployment. For my PhD research I propose a novel WSN virtualization framework that allows multiple users to run their application tasks over underlying WSN resources in a transparent way. This paper presents the overview of the proposed WSN virtualization framework, related work, current status and future work.
