NeTS-NR: Creating a Wirelss Sensor Net Architecture

翻译后摘要：无线传感器网络（WSNs）将有利于社会加速科学研究，提高生产力，提高安全性。从设备设计到分布式算法，特定科学挑战的候选解决方案存在各种假设要求，约束条件和组件之间的关系。然而，没有一个整体的传感器网络架构的共识。 部署需要一个狭窄的垂直切片来实现一个可操作的网络。 这个项目的目标是制定和评估一个全面的无线传感器网络系统架构，包括一般的设计原则，广泛的功能分解，和详细的接口，其中件适合在一起。 该方法认识到，这种体系结构的"窄腰”--在互联网体系结构中扮演IP的角色--是尽力而为的单跳广播。 阐述基本抽象的主要方法是迭代循环（候选收集，设计，集成，评估），并将结果提交给社区进行分析，以在通用性和性能之间建立正确的折衷。 这个过程将阐明一致的编程接口，包括收集，聚合，传播，邻域，数据中心存储，并在多个链路层基于属性的路由。 该架构将在效率、协调、电源、管理和安全等跨领域方面进行测试。 它应该包含异构性，并允许在一致的框架内进行特定于应用程序的优化。 为无线传感器网络创建一个成功的架构将减少开发工作，允许更大的协同作用和互操作性，实现更快的创新，并大大拓宽从国家安全到科学研究和生态系统管理的应用领域。

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) will benefit society by accelerating scientific research, increasing productivity, and enhancing security. Candidate solutions to particular scientific challenges, ranging from device design to distributed algorithms, exist with various assumed requirements, constraints, and relationships between the components. However, there is no consensus on an overall sensor network architecture. Deployments take a narrow vertical slice to achieve a operational network. The objective of this project is to formulate and evaluate a comprehensive WSN systems architecture, encompassing general design principles, broad functional decompositions, and detailed interfaces by which pieces fit together. The approach recognizes that the ``narrow waist" of this architecture -- playing the role of IP in the Internet architecture -- is a best-effort single-hop broadcast. The primary method for articulating the essential abstractions is iterative cycles of (candidate collection, design, integration, evaluation) with the outcome presented to the community for analysis to establish the right compromises between generality and performance. This process will articulate consistent programming interfaces that encompass collection, aggregation, dissemination, neighborhoods, data centric storage, and attribute-based routing over multiple link layers. The architecture will be tested on cross-cutting aspects of efficiency, coordination, power, management, and security. It should embrace heterogeneity and allow for application-specific optimization within a consistent framework. Creating a successful architecture for WSNs will reduce development effort, allow greater synergy and interoperability, enable more rapid innovation, and greatly broaden the sphere of applications from national security to scientific research and ecosystem management.
