The use of wireless communication networks has undergone a revolution during recent years, in application areas such as factory automation, home automation, vehicle-to-vehicle communications and
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).
In what concerns
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), a few communication standards are established and transceivers are commercially available at low cost. Unfortunately, they wer not designed for satisfying real-time requirements. Researchers at
CISTER/IPP-HURRAY are addressing these issues from the complementary perspectives of: (i) the use of commercially available technologies versus the use of new solutions untethered by existing standards; (ii) the use of time-triggered paradigms versus event-triggered paradigms; (iii) the provision of short-term solutions recognizing the needs of companies for wireless solutions with mature implementations and compliant with standards in order to simplify interoperability versus the need to push the state-of-art and explore new innovative solutions.
ART-WiSe and
WiDOM are two representative ongoing research frameworks addressing these complementary perspectives.
