Adaptive and Reconfigurable ResOurce Management for Wireless Sensors using Grid Technology

Abstract

Integrating grid computing with sensor networks, named as sensor grid, promises immense storage; unmatched computational power and availability of virtually any shareable resource through grid to resource constrained sensor nodes. On the other hand it poses complicated and new challenges such processing SOAP enabled XML messages, compliance with grid security standards. In this research work we first identify service requirements for the sensor grid to efficiently process data using grid technology and then list the challenging issues to meet these requirements. We also propose an end-to-end adaptive and reconfigurable resource manager for wireless sensors (ARROWS) using grid technology to enable resource constrained sensor nodes to connect to the grid.
