Developing intelligent sensor networks

Abstract

We present a technological convergence approach to developing sensor networks capable of s elf-management. W e us e AS SL (Autonomic System Specification Language) to formally develop autonomous intelligent sensor nodes and DMF (Demand Migration Framework) to connect these nodes in a sensor network. ASSL provides construc ts for modeling special selfmanagement policies that drive the sensor nodes' behavior and control the communication mechanism provided by DMF.
