“…WSN, and mobile WSN, is an active research topic related to the concepts and principles of the design we propose and has received much attention. [14][15][16] Proposed system designs and methodologies to address the ineffi ciency of heterogeneous sensor systems range from specifi c applications in personal area networks to generic scalable software architectures. In particular, the fi eld of WSN in geo-sensors shares similar goals and targets with our design.…”

“…The monitoring system is built upon SeNsIM-SEC (Sensor Networks Integration and Management) [3], [4], [16], a framework that was designed for integration of heterogeneous sensor networks based on the wrapper-mediator paradigm with security extensions. It provides a unified interface by which users can easily execute queries on the system to retrieve network information and elaborate sensor data.…”

Embedded Systems (ES) are increasingly being used in critical applications, where Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) attributes are essential. The pSHIELD research project, funded in the framework of the European ARTEMIS program, introduces some innovative approaches to address SPD issues for ES. In this paper, after an introduction to the scope of the pSHIELD project, we describe a casestudy application to the monitoring of freight trains transporting hazardous materials. The application uses heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) to measure environmental parameters like temperature, vibrations and transmit them to the security control center. The sensors are integrated by means of an appropriate middleware and data is elaborated by a specfically developed application. We report the architecture and the results achieved by testing the application and some of its relevant SPD functionalities, including data criptography, in a real railway environment.

Sensor Networks are required to be properly designed in order to avoid resource waste and optimize their lifetime. Large monitoring applications require proper methodologies and tools supporting the design, when multiple solutions increase the complexity of this task. Indeed, different parameters affect the performance of a solution, as node distribution, sensing coverage, battery usage, etc.A compositional modelling approach can provide early measures, allowing to evaluate and compare different solutions since the design phase. The main contribution of the paper is the definition of a general modelling framework to integrate simple models representing the main components and features of sensor networks. A library for specific sensor devices have been developed, using the Stochastic Activity Network (SAN) formalism. This approach is shown to be compositional since the creation of complex networks can be accomplished by simple subcomponents aggregation. With this approach, obtained models can analyse the dynamic evolution of the overall network, even if complex. First experimental results are also reported and discussed.
