Associate teams: Inria-EVA, Prof. Glaser's team (UC Berkeley), Prof. Kerkez's team (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

Objective: Prof. Glaser's and Prof. Kerkez's teams are revolutionizing environmental monitoring by using low power wireless TSCH networks to produce continuous environmental data accessible in real time. They are successfully deploying these networks to study mountain hydrology, observe water quality in urban watersheds, and build intelligent urban stormwater grids. The REALMS associate team conducts research across the environmental engineering and networking research domains. Its 3-year goal is to develop easy-to-use real-world network monitoring solutions to provide real-time data for environmental and urban applications. This goal leads to the following objectives: building a long-term large-scale public connectivity dataset of the networks deployed; using that dataset to model TSCH networks; and building an ecosystem of tools around this technology.

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,
-
component generation and dynamic adaptation of the application.
After the mid-term evaluation, the last topic has been replaced by the use of game theory in WSNs, where the Moroccan team is leader.
Three applications have been identified to apply the results obtained within the AWSN project: e-health, precision agriculture and Industrial WSNs with cooperative mobile robot applications. The first three topics previously defined have to be addressed in all these applications. A hierarchical architecture with different types of networks is present: WBAN and/or WSN, wireless or wired LAN, interconnected to the Internet. In addition, mobile nodes exist in these applications (e.g. mobile sinks with nurses and doctors as well tractors and farm machines, mobile robots).
In 2015, the AWSN project organized two workshops open to students and researchers:
