Automated Generation of Performance and Dependability Models for the Assessment of Wireless Sensor Networks
by Catello Di Martino, Marcello Cinque, and Domenico Cotroneo
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a concrete solution for building next-generation critical monitoring systems with reduced development, deployment, and maintenance costs. Their use is envisioned in a variety of applications, such as fire detection, object tracking, and structural monitoring. However, industries operating in this field are still questioning the adoption of WSNs in their monitoring systems, despite the wide availability of research studies and prototypes.
