European Sensor Network Architecture

ESNA

Saturday, 12 June 2004
The emerging technology of wireless sensor networks creates new opportunities for innovative applications, but poses new technical challenges for constructing such applications. The ESNA (European sensor network architecture) project aims to provide the necessary support for effective development of wireless sensor network applications: a standard architecture, technology and application-development guidelines, and proof-of-concept implementations. The objective of ESNA is to contribute to establishing wireless sensor networks as a technology discipline serving business needs. There are three main goals: 1. Explore and model detailed application requirements that will drive technology development, 2. Explore and further develop technologies for WSN applications; and 3. Explore methodology and business aspects of WSN. The main technological result will be an open sensor network system architecture with support for several off-the-shelf sensor network nodes, including applications, software development kits and middleware services, based on documented interoperability specifications. The methodology results will be guidelines for sensor network application development – including guidelines for dimensioning of networks, and type of nodes to use for different application domains, as well for requirements analysis and design at a systems level. ESNA will produce these results by iterating co-ordinated work on a generic architecture and its development platform, and on specific WSN applications that evaluate the underlying platform and guidelines.
