A framework for sensor management in wireless and heterogeneous sensor network

This paper proposes a framework for sensor configuration and management in wireless multi sensor network system, which is responsible for taking decisions in order to coordinate the assignment and scheduling of sensors best suited for the application. A sensor manager operates over a heterogeneous sensor network, which provides sensory data from multiple types of sensors. The application of this work is tracking the movement of objects in a moderately occupied confined space. Simulations were run to study the operations of the proposed sensor manage in such application. The simulation results are compared to other published results to show the effectiveness of this work.
