“…A common measure for network design quality is the Quality of Service provided by the network [11,21], which defines boundaries to delay times and loss rates for a design. Nevertheless, to evaluate the quality of service in a network, a performance analysis of the design is inevitable.…”

Wireless building automation systems are gaining momentum as they promise an easy installation in old and new buildings. But, the design of wireless building automation systems is still an extensive manual process with little to no tool support. In result, the system commissioning ends in trial-and-error set-ups to identify interoperable devices, to solve issues with wireless signal propagation and to understand energy problems of nodes. This paper introduces a holistic design approach that addresses these common issues in wireless building automation system design. It takes up novel design concepts and tools from wired system design and combines them in a holistic tool environment that supports the engineer in his common work flow to efficiently design reliable wireless building automation systems.

“…The utilization of wearable sensors to obtain useful human body parameters is nowadays a reality, partially due to the deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as the backbone of the new e-Health applications. A WSN is a network composed of small autonomous devices (sensor nodes or motes) that either incorporates sensors or includes the ability to incorporate them, providing capabilities for monitoring both individually and cooperatively physical or environmental conditions (such as temperature, light, or motion) in each of the possible locations of every node [1]. Some fields of application for these networks include environmental control, industrial control, automotive, medicine, defense and security industries, home automation, and so forth.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based on wearable devices are being used in a growing variety of applications, many of them with strict privacy requirements: medical, surveillance, e-Health, and so forth. Since private data is being shared (physiological measures, medical records, etc.), implementing security mechanisms in these networks has become a major challenge. The objective of deploying a trustworthy domain is achieving a nonspecific security mechanism that can be used in a plethora of network topologies and with heterogeneous application requirements. Another very important challenge is resilience. In fact, if a stand-alone and self-configuring WSN is required, an autosetup mechanism is necessary in order to maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of security issues or faulty hardware. This paper presents SensoTrust, a novel security model for WSN based on the definition of trustworthy domains, which is adaptable to a wide range of applications and scenarios where services are published as a way to distribute the acquired data. Security domains can be deployed as an add-on service to merge with any service already deployed, obtaining a new secured service.

“…Environmental monitoring and devices control of intelligent building based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is considered as one of the most crucial applications. In the past, WSN has been used to measure number of signals within building environment like ambient light and temperature [7][8][9][10][11] to control and enhance the building energy performance. The initial target of the work in this paper is to deploy an efficient WSN capable of measuring wider range of vital signals inside the building and provide new methodologies for establishing reliable RF link and interactive user control.…”

It is commonly agreed that a 15-40% reduction of building energy consumption is achievable by efficiently operated buildings when compared with typical practice. Existing research has identified that the level of information available to Building Managers with existing Building Management Systems and Environmental Monitoring Systems is insufficient to perform the required performance-based building assessment. The majority of today's buildings are insufficiently sensored to obtain an unambiguous understanding of performance. The cost of installing additional sensors and meters is extremely high, primarily due to the estimated cost of wiring and the needed labour. From these perspectives wireless sensors technology proves to have a greater cost-efficiency while maintaining high levels of functionality and reliability. In this paper, a wireless sensor network mote hardware design and implementation are introduced particularly for building deployment application. The core of the mote design is based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller, Atmega1281 and 2.4 GHz wireless communication chip, CC2420. The sensors were selected carefully to meet both the building monitoring and design requirements. Beside the sensing capability, actuation and interfacing to external meters/sensors are provided to perform different management control and data recording tasks.
