 Definition
ë WISENET is a wireless sensor network that monitors the
environmental conditions such as light, temperature, and
humidity. This network is comprised of nodes called ³motes´
that form an ad-hoc network to transmit this data to a
computer that function as a server.

  

ë  


ë There are two top-level subsystems ±

ë !
 
ë This subsystem is software-only (relative to WISENET). It
relied on existing Internet and web (HTTP) infrastructure to
provide communications between the Client and Server
components. The focus of this subsystem was to selectively
present the collected environmental data to the end user in a
graphical manner.
!



ë The purpose of this subsystem is to collect and store
environmental data for later processing by the Data Analysis
subsystem. This is a mix of both PC & embedded system
software, as well as embedded system hardware. It is
composed of both the Server and Sensor Mote Network
components.
System Components
 Client Component

ë The Client component is necessary but external to the

development of WISENET. That is, any computer with a web
browser and Internet access could be a Client. It served only as
a user interface to the Data Analysis subsystem.
Client Component
 Server Component

The Server is a critical component as the link between the Data

Acquisition and Data Analysis subsystems. On the Data
Analysis side, an web (HTTP) server hosting a web application.
When a page request came in, the web server executes the web
application, which retrieved data from the database, processes
it, and returns a web page that the web server transmitted to the
Client.

 Sensor Mote Component
ë This component consists of two parts.
ë The first is tthe sensor mote. The primary purpose of the
sensor mote is to collect and transmit raw environmental data.
When not doing this, it went into a low-power idle mode to
conserve energy. Another aspect of the sensor motes involved
adhoc networking and may be for multi-hop routing;
ë The gateway mote is the second part of the Sensor Mote
Network. Its purpose is to serve as the liaison between the
Server and the Sensor Mote Network and deliver all the data
packets to WiseDB. In theory both standard and gateway
motes could be implemented on the same hardware PCB and
with the same software.

 Software
ë 
 is a standard web-server, which makes a web
document available on the Internet.
ë
ë is a web programming language, which allows dynamic
web-pages. It should also be designed to use along with a
database and included many built-in functions for interfacing
with MySQL.
ë
ë 
is a database that can contain any type of data and is
accessed by a TCP/IP (Internet) call.
ë
ë 
  is a program that generates a graph from raw
data. It is available in many languages such as PHP, ASP, C++,
and others.
 Software Components

ë Wisenet is also composed of three custom software

components
ë The Web program(PHP)
ë Wise DB is the software component that interfaced with the
sensor mote network via a serial link to the gateway mote with
the database
ë Tiny OS is real time os designed for use in sensor.
