Abstract :
We propose a wireless sensor network management framework where we consider the management activity as a meta level thread of computation that monitors the lower (object) level protocol related thread of computations and performs management actions to affect the lower level computations. While the protocols perform the object level computations, the management level computations are performed by a set of rules. In this framework, the wireless network management can not only be tuned for specific applications, but also can be driven by flexible management policies, which can be coded explicitly in the implementation.
