Abstract :
The paper proposes an environmental monitoring framework based on WSNs oriented towards a credible deployment. Here, credible has to be intended as an energy-aware system, robust with respect to perturbations affecting the normal operational life that adapts itself to face a change in the network topology. The developed proposed system encompasses the sensing activity, a local transmission from sensor nodes to the gateway, a remote data transmission from gateways to the control center and subsequent data storage in a DB and visualisation. The system has been tested on a first prototypal WSN deployed to monitor the Australian coral reef barrier.
