ENS Requirements for Habitat/Ecophysiology
Applications
nDiverse
sensor sizes (1-10 cm), spatial sampling intervals (1 cm - 100 m), and temporal sampling intervals (1 ms - days), depending on habitats and organisms.
nNaive
approach ® Too many sensors ®Too many data.
–In-network,
distributed signal processing.
nWireless
communication due to climate, terrain, thick vegetation.
nAdaptive
Self-Organization to achieve reliable, long-lived, operation in dynamic, resource-limited, harsh
environment.
nMobility for
deploying scarce resources (e.g., high resolution sensors).
