ABSTRACT
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) provide an inexpensive and convenient way to monitor physical environments. Integrating the context-aware capability of WSN into surveillance systems is an attractive direction. We thus propose an <u>i</u>ntegrated <u>mo</u>bile s<u>r</u>veillance and wireless <u>se</u>nsor (iMouse) system, which consists of a large number of inexpensive static sensors and a small number of more expensive mobile sensors. The former is to monitor the environment, while the latter can move to certain locations and takes more advanced actions. The iMouse system is a mobile, context-aware surveillance system. We demonstrate our current prototyping for home security applications. Besides, we analyze its event detection delay under an any-sensor-detection model.

Using event detection latency to evaluate the coverage of a wireless sensor network
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of many tiny and low-power devices deployed in a sensing field. One of the major tasks of a WSN is to monitor the surrounding environment and to detect events occurring in the sensing field. Given an event ...
Non-location-based Mobile Sensor Relocation in a Hybrid Static-Mobile Wireless Sensor Network
SENSORCOMM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Third International Conference on Sensor Technologies and ApplicationsAn inherent concern for a wireless sensor network (WSN) is the unbalanced energy consumption problem, where sensors closer to the sink are more likely to exhaust their energy faster than other nodes. To mitigate this problem, this paper considers ...
Maximizing the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks with Mobile Sink in Delay-Tolerant Applications
This paper proposes a framework to maximize the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by using a mobile sink when the underlying applications tolerate delayed information delivery to the sink. Within a prescribed delay tolerance level, each ...
