This collaboration aims at defining new protocols for data collecting in Wireless Sensor Networks, and evaluate them with the senslab platform. After validating the proposed protocols, CERIST intends to deploy them in the context of the project (Algerian) “Sensirrig”, which aims at using sensors for agricultural irrigation. With L. Zeghache and N. Badache (CERIST), we investigate the use of Mobile Transactional Agents.
