Abstract :
This research paper describes the development of a highly flexible autonomic wireless sensor node technology that allows sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks (WSN) to adaptively accommodate different analogue sensors in a flexible and scalable way by utilising the reconfigurability of mixed-signal programmable hardware technology in combination with a sensor identification scheme inspired by IEEE1451.4 standard and the adaptive reconfiguration techniques developed in the research. The paper will illustrate the proposed technology and present the development of prototype sensor nodes that validate the key research concepts.
