Abstract
When designing new smart sensor platforms, the system should be well adapted to the intended use case. In most cases this means that the sensor will be implemented as a part of a larger system—be it as a part of a sensor network or a component of a machine. In both cases the sensor should have a long lifetime, use the available resources with care, handle the data securely, and prevent the system from getting damaged by misusing the sensor knowingly or unknowingly. To test all of these properties, models of the sensor (and its component parts) can be created and used in simulations that represent the environment and the possible uses of the sensor in it. This chapter describes the possibility of creating a new power aware and secured smart sensor using a model-based design approach.
