Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) present complex interactions that challenge traditional evaluation techniques like simulation. This paper surveys various models used in WSN literature to capture and predict system behaviors effectively. It introduces a classification system for these models, highlights associated tools, and discusses future challenges and directions for research in this field.

A framework for modeling sensor networks
Pierre Baldi

2004

Recent technological advances are likely to increase sensor network development and deployment efforts. The expected growth in sensor network deployment requires efficient sensor network modeling techniques to facilitate initial programming of the sensor nodes and their eventual reprogramming once the network is deployed. The myriad of sensor network application scenarios, physical deployment media, communication technologies, and performance requirements complicates the efficient modeling of sensor networks. This paper proposes a framework for sensor network modeling based on general features identified through a careful analysis of existing sensor networks. This framework facilitates the modeling of new sensor networks by characterizing them according to these general features and providing a set of performance goals. The specification of each network's performance requirements within this framework enables the appropriate selection of communication protocols. The discussion in this paper focuses on sensor network routing protocols, but the approach applies to any kind of communication protocols.

Programming models for sensor networks
Harsh Pandey

ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, 2008

Sensor networks have a significant potential in diverse applications some of which are already beginning to be deployed in areas such as environmental monitoring. As the application logic becomes more complex, programming difficulties are becoming a barrier to adoption of these networks. The difficulty in programming sensor networks is not only due to their inherently distributed nature but also the need for mechanisms to address their harsh operating conditions such as unreliable communications, faulty nodes, and extremely constrained resources. Researchers have proposed different programming models to overcome these difficulties with the ultimate goal of making programming easy while making full use of available resources. In this article, we first explore the requirements for programming models for sensor networks. Then we present a taxonomy of the programming models, classified according to the level of abstractions they provide. We present an evaluation of various programming m...

Modeling Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Collaborative Graph-based Model
Lina M. P.L. Brito

Sensors & Transducers, 2015

In several application scenarios, like the case of structural monitoring, it is important to model and represent the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) to be deployed. To model the components and properties of entire WSN types of collaboration in WSNs, we have created the Collaborative Wireless Sensor Networks (CWSN) model. This model also models the different types of collaboration that occur in a WSN. Our main goal is to provide a theoretical mathematical foundation that can model and analyze WSNs. Our approach is based on graph theory and propositional logic. The main contribution of this paper is applying the CWSN model to describe and represent a WSN. The use of the CWSN model brings several advantages, such as enabling the graphical representation of the state of the network and of several important properties: 1) the network topology; 2) the transmission between nodes considering a multi-hop communication; 3) the transmission hierarchy; 4) the evolution of the networks through a succession of graphs; and so on.

Tanja: A framework for modelling Wireless Sensor Networks
Manuel I Capel

Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) raise a growing interest among industries and civil organizations where monitoring and recognition of physical phenomena are a priority. Their possible applications are extremely versatile. WSN represent a significant technology that attracts more and more considerable research attention in recent years. It has emerged as a result of recent advances in low-power digital and analog circuitry, low-power RF design and sensor technology. In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling WSN that supports them to handle real-time network management by using a hierarchical framework based on general features identified through a careful analysis of existing sensor networks. Our framework is based on the GSM model. It can be considered as a special kind of clustering architecture that extends the network lifetime by efficiently using every node's energy and distributes management tasks to support the scalability of the management system in d...

A model-based transformation framework for designing and analyzing wireless sensor networks
Raoudha Saida

TURKISH JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING & COMPUTER SCIENCES, 2018

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) comprise resource-constrained (e.g., memory, processing, and energy) sensor nodes that are deployed in different areas and are able to monitor environmental conditions. Simulation has been widely used in order to evaluate the network performance. In this context, software designers need to evaluate, refine, and validate high-level models for WSN applications at early stages of development via simulation tools, in particular for WSN applications supporting energy-harvesting devices. In the present paper, we propose a model-based transformation framework that allows the modeling and simulation of a WSN system supporting energy-harvesting capabilities. In this proposal, we start from a high-level specification based on the UML/MARTE profile, which describes an energyharvesting WSN node. Then a model-to-text (M2T) transformation allows us to generate simulation scripts for analysis purposes by focusing on energy consumption.

Abstract A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is composed of distributed sensors with limited processing capabilities and energy restrictions. These unique attributes pose new challenges amongst which prolonging the WSN lifetime is one of the most important. Challenges are often tackled by a code-and-fix process that relies on low-level hardware and software information. Recently, the need of abstracting an implementation view into an architectural design is getting more realized. A clear separation of concerns is needed ...

Wireless Sensor Networks

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of nodes organized into a cooperative network. Each node consists of processing capability (one or more microcontrollers, CPUs or DSP chips), may contain multiple types of memory (program, data and flash memories), have a RF transceiver (usually with a single omni-directional antenna), have a power source (e.g., batteries and solar cells), and accommodate various sensors and actuators. The nodes communicate wirelessly and often self-organize after being deployed in an ad hoc fashion. Systems of 1000s or even 10,000 nodes are anticipated. Such systems can revolutionize the way we live and work.

A Case Study on a Wireless Sensor Network
Rainer Doemer

System modeling in a large extent is a matter of handling abstract and possibly incomplete information and trying to evaluate different solutions based on the system model. The ease with which a system can be modeled depends on the semantics and syntax of the language used. At present, there is no complete language available for entire system modeling but there are few System-Level Design Language’s (SLDL) that are being used for following system-level design methodology. In this project, we have modeled a wireless sensor network system in SLDL to determine if SLDL can be used for system modeling. This report gives details of the project, results & conclusions arrived during the project as well as the limitations of SLDL for entire system modeling.

Worst Case Modelling of Wireless Sensor Networks
Ivan Martinovic

PIK - Praxis der Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation, 2008

At the current state of affairs it is hard to obtain a predictable performance from wireless sensor networks, not to mention performance guarantees. In particular, a widely accepted and established methodology for modelling the performance of wireless sensor networks is missing. In the last two years we have tried to make a step into the direction of an analytical framework for the performance modelling of wireless sensor networks based on the theory of network calculus, which we customized towards a so-called sensor network calculus [1]. We believe the sensor network calculus to be especially useful for applications which have timing requirements. Examples for this class of applications are factory control, nuclear power plant control, medical applications, and any alerting systems. In general, whenever the sensed input may necessitate immediate actions the sensor network calculus may be the way to go. In this paper we summarize these activities and discuss the open issues for such an analytical framework to be widely accepted.

Wireless Micro-Sensor Network Models
Tejaswini Pawar

Wireless sensor network is important in sensing, Collecting and disseminating information about environmental Phenomenon. This paper contain emerging field to classify wireless micro sensor network according to different communication functions, data delivery models and network dynamics. This taxonomy will aid in defining appropriate communication infra structure for diff. sensor network application subspaces. It allows network designer to choose the Protocol architecture. According to their application this taxonomy will enable new sensor network models to define for use in further research in this area. The overall communication behavior in a wireless micro sensor Network is application driven. It is useful to decouple the application communication used for information dissemination from the infrastructure communication used to configure and optimize the Network. This separation will aid network designers in selecting the appropriate sensor network architecture that will best match the characteristics of the communication traffic of a given application. This will allow the network protocol to achieve the application-specific goals of energy-efficiency, low latency, and high accuracy in the sensing application. We also believe that a sensor-initiated proactive path recovery approach with local patching will be beneficial in efficient information dissemination in wireless micro-sensor networks. The taxonomy presented will be helpful in designing and evaluating future network protocols for wireless micro-sensor networks. Often, it is possible to implement a sensor network for a specific phenomenon in a number of different ways. Consider the problem of monitoring a tornado. One option would be to fly airplanes to sense the tornado (mobile phenomenon; mobile sensors; continuous data delivery). Another would be to have a sensor grid statically placed on the ground and report data as the tornado passes through (mobile phenomenon; static sensors; continuous data delivery). Yet another would be to release lightweight sensors into the tornado (static phenomenon; mobile sensors; Continuous data delivery).
