To demonstrate this, we present the Mirage resource allocation system. In Mirage, testbed resources are allocated using a repeated combinatorial auction within a closed virtual currency environment. Users compete for testbed resources by submitting bids which specify resource combinations of interest in space/time (e.g., \"any 32 MICA2 motes for 8 hours anytime in the next three days\") along with a maximum value amount the user is willing to pay. A combinatorial auction is then periodically run to determine the winning bids based on supply and demand while maximizing aggregate utility delivered to users. We have implemented a fully functional and secure prototype of Mirage and have been operating it in daily use for approximately four months on Intel Research Berkeley's 148-mote sensornet testbed.","PeriodicalId":371563,"journal":{"name":"The Second IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors, 2005.

Although recent research focuses strongly on energy-aware applications and operating systems, energy consumption is still a limiting factor. Once sensor nodes are deployed, it is challenging and sometimes even impossible to change batteries. As a result, erroneous lifetime prediction causes high costs and may render a sensor network, useless before its purpose is fulfilled. In this paper, we present AEON (accurate prediction of power consumption), a novel evaluation tool to quantitatively predict energy consumption of sensor nodes and whole sensor networks. Our energy model, based on measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code, enables accurate prediction of the actual energy consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, it prevents erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows us to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency. Thus, it enables a highly precise estimation of the overall lifetime of a sensor network.","PeriodicalId":371563,"journal":{"name":"The Second IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors, 2005.

The framework is based on a maintenance model that is simple, yet flexible enough to capture real world deployment scenarios of sensor networks. As an illustration, the framework is used to assess the impact of different forwarding techniques for a known geographical routing protocol on the overall maintenance costs of different sensor fields. The results obtained indicate that a one-size-fits-all approach for the design of maintenance efficient routing protocols does not hold in large deployments of wireless sensor networks. However, savings of up to 50% in maintenance cost were observed through simple modifications of the forwarding strategy.","PeriodicalId":371563,"journal":{"name":"The Second IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors, 2005.

The concept of mobility for energy saving has been motivated by a natural grouping behavior that is observed in Emperor penguin communities in the Antarctic region. In this paper, we first draw a parallel between the heat loss of a penguin at the group periphery, and the routing energy burden of a sensor node near base stations. Then we develop a distributed mobility algorithm that works based on local energy information and makes sure that the energy load across sensor nodes in a network are evenly distributed for collective extension of the network life. We evaluate the protocol, and compare it with the performance upper bound derived from a centralized version of the algorithm. The results demonstrate that using the distributed algorithm for controlled node mobility it is possible to significantly extend the network life. It is also shown that this holds in situations where the energy cost of physical node mobility is modeled up to four orders of magnitude larger than the energy cost for packet communication.","PeriodicalId":371563,"journal":{"name":"The Second IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors, 2005.
