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