The article
“Development of Emulation Projects for Teaching
Wireless Sensor Networks” introduces the fundamentals of
sensor programming, and presents two specific projects as demonstration. Read
the article to learn how to develop WSN projects for detecting object’s
presence. Implement the first project (Data collection from the environment) presented in the article.
- Project 3 (continued
from project 2)
Implement the second project (Human
detection sensor network) presented in the article.

Exploration
Project
Learning objectives
In this
exploration project, each individual (or team) will explore ways of improving
the object detection protocol discussed in the article “Emulation
of Wireless Sensor Networks for Object Tracking”,
by adding object tracking capability into the protocol.
Items to be submitted
- The abstract
A preliminary abstract of your
presentation topic is due early in the semester.
Each team should submit to the instructor an abstract (via email to yang@uhcl.edu).
The abstract should be one or two pages long (single spacing,
12-point font), and contains the following sections:
(1) Class
name (e.g., CSCI5931 Wireless & Sensor Networks)
(2) Your
name(s) and an email address that you check regularly (that is, at least once
a day)
(3) Topic
of your investigation
(4) General
description of the topic
(5) Three
or more articles related to the topic.
VERY Important: Make
sure you properly cite the work of other researchers or professionals. Visit http://sce.uhcl.edu/yang/citing.htm
for more information about cited references.
Warning: Missing
or improper cited references in your abstract and final report will result in
poor score for your presentation.
(6) A
few paragraphs describing your preliminary idea of adding object tracking
into the existing algorithm.
- The final report
- The written report should include your findings
about the chosen topic.
- The report should be submitted to the instructor
(yang@uhcl.edu) via email.
It should have 10-15 pages (single spacing, 12-point font)
with proper cited references.
Warning: Missing
or improper cited references in your abstract and final report will result in
poor score for this assignment.
- The report should be composed of the following
sections:
i. Title
ii.
Your name (and email address)
iii.
An abstract (50-100 words)
iv.
Introduction to the topic
v. Your
findings
vi.
How the new protocol or algorithm(s) were
verified / tested
vii.
Future work: research ideas and projects
possibly related to the topic
viii.
Conclusion
