Master of Science / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / Gurdip Singh / A sensor network can be used to observe events performed by physical entities and their physical
locations. The growing need of wireless sensor networks to monitor different events can be
accomplished by tiny computing platforms called Motes. Having a GUI abstraction of the region
can help in getting a heads up display of the region which can be used for several purposes, e.g.
in hospitals for tracking different events in case of a fire emergency. It can be helpful for
firefighters entering a large building by providing them prior information of a building layout as
it is difficult to see through due to heavy smoke. This project develops an approach to show via
GUI information of a region with the help of motes transferring data wirelessly. It is a 3-tier
application including a server, a mobile client and a mote setup. The motes execute TinyOS,
which is specifically designed operating system for sensor networks.
The project has been tested in the computer science department building, Crossbow’s TelosB
motes have been used for the mote setup. The programs for the motes are written in nesC (dialect
of C), and the client and the server program are written in Java.
