Wireless sensor networks(WSN) are networks of tiny embedded computers called motes, each sensing information and relaying it via a wireless link to a base station.
WSN technology can be potentially applied in many area including manufacturing, agriculture, construction and transportation.
Habitat and environmental monitoring promises enormous scientific benefits hence is a significant driver for WSN research.
This project is carried out in collaboration with Dr Steve Burgess of UWA Plant Biology faculty and Dr David Glance of UWA Computer Science & Software Engineering faculty, to identify requirements, design and implement a generic sensor network that can be reused as digital sap flow sensors on Karri trees or microclimate monitors in vineyards, with the aim of understanding native vegetation water use.
Development will be using a sensor network programming package, such as Maté, to build and test the application incrementally.
The project will also analyse the strengths and weaknesses of tools such as Maté for rapid development of sensor network applications.
