Abstract

While deploying a sensor network is necessary for proof-of-concept experimentation, it is a time-consuming and tedious task that dramatically slows innovation. Treating sensor networks as shared testbeds and integrating them into a federated testbed infrastructure, such as FIRE, GENI, AKARI, or CNGI, enables a broad user community to benefit from time-consuming deployment exercises. In this paper, we outline the challenges with integrating sensor networks into federated testbeds in the context of ViSE, a sensor network testbed we have integrated with GENI, and describe our initial deployment experiences. ViSE differs from typical embedded sensor networks in its focus on high-bandwidth steerable sensors.
