NeTS-NOSS: Lightweight and Flexible Sensor Network Management

这个项目的目标是创建一个传感器网络管理的架构，并使用该架构来开发和评估新的网络管理任务。 该架构必须足够灵活，以适用于广泛的传感器节点类型和网络技术。 在内存和计算资源需求方面，它也必须是轻量级的。 该体系结构为可管理的组件定义了一个公共接口，并为与这些组件的远程交互定义了一个新的网络服务。 这些技术作为新兴的传感器网络功能的基础，如网络引导，集群管理和网络路由管理。 该项目正在开发管理算法、管理信息模型和传感器网络管理服务的规范和实现。 这些技术正在通过深入的模拟和通过在由低功耗无线传感器节点（如Crossbow Mica-class Motes）组成的物理测试平台上执行进行评估。 通过该项目开发的技术将为传感器网络的管理操作提供一致的机制，从而提高不同研究人员和供应商开发的技术之间的互操作性。 推动管理信息的标准化描述将为传感器网络社区的标准化提供一个例子，鼓励减少技术上的碎片化。 该项目的规格、软件和评估结果将通过适当的期刊、会议、讲习班和互联网传播。

The goal of this project is to create an architecture for sensor network management and use the architecture to develop and evaluate novel network-management tasks. The architecture must be flexible enough to be applicable to a wide range of sensor node types and networking technologies. It must also be lightweight in terms of memory and computational resource requirements. The architecture defines a common interface for manageable components and a new network service for remote interaction with these components. These technologies serve as the basis for new emerging sensor network capabilities such as network bootstrapping, cluster management, and network routing management. This project is developing specifications and implementations of management algorithms, management information models, and sensor network management services. These techniques are being evaluated through in-depth simulations and through execution on a physical testbed composed of low-power, wireless sensor nodes, such as the Crossbow Mica-class Motes. The technologies that are developed through this project will provide a consistent mechanism for management operations in sensor networks, resulting in greater interoperability between technologies developed by different researchers and vendors. The push to standardize descriptions of managed information will provide an example of points for standardization in the sensor network community, encouraging less fragmentation in technology. The specifications, software, and evaluation results from the project will be disseminated via appropriate journals, conferences, workshops, and the Internet.
