Self-organizing sensor networks may be built from sensor
nodes that may spontaneously create impromptu network, assemble the
network themselves, dynamically adapt to device failure and
degradation, manage movement of sensor nodes, and react to changes
in task and network requirements. Reconfigurable smart sensor
nodes enable sensor devices to be self-aware, self-reconfigurable
and autonomous. The main benefits of these features
are:
- Support tactical and
surveillance applications using reconfiguurable sensor network
nodes that are capable of forming impromptu network, being deployed
incrementally, and assembling themselves without
central administration
- Provide capabilities for
sensor networks to adapt dynamically to device failure and
degradation and changes in task and network
requirements
- Integrate various
application-specific network and system services provided by mixed
types of sensor nodes and embedded defense
applications
