• Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) allow the development of numerous applications in various domains, such as security and surveillance, environment protection, precision agriculture, intelligent transportation, homecare of elderly and disabled people...

  Communication in such WSNs has to cope with limited capacity resources, energy depletion of sensor nodes, important fluctuations of traffic in the network, changes in the network topology (radio link breakage, interferences ...) or new application requirements. In the AWSN project, we focus on the different techniques to be introduced in the WSNs to make them auto-adaptive with regard to these various changes, while meeting the application requirements. Thus, we address:

  • network deployment and redeployment in order to fulfill the application requirements,

  • QoS (Quality of Service) optimization taking into account real-time traffic and dynamic bandwidth allocation,

  • energy efficiency and replacement of failed sensor node,

  • component generation and dynamic adaptation of the application.

  In 2014, the AWSN project organized two workshops reserved to AWSN teams:

  • Workshop in Rabat in October 2014.

  • Workshop in Rocquencourt in December 2014.

  The AWSN project organized also open workshops and conferences:

  • the RAWSN 2014 workshop in Marrakech in May 2014 organized by the Moroccan team: see the program on http://www.netys.net/rawsn2014/ , workshop held in conjunction with NETYS 2014.

  • the PEMWN 2014 conference in Sousse in November 2014, organized by the Tunisian and French teams, see the program on https://sites.google.com/site/pemwn2014/final-program
