Development of a Simulator for Stochastic Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

This paper presents an open framework and detailed procedures for creating simulators that address application-specific deployment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The presented framework and developed models are combined in a deployment simulator. The simulator assists decision-makers in selecting among different WSN deployment alternatives. The outlined software framework serves as a blueprint for creating deployment simulators that take into account application specific factors and may be used for optimization of WSN stochastic deployments.
