Abstract
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the sensor nodes are typically resource limited. This fact fosters the nodes to collaborate in order to implement their tasks. Therefore, WSNs are, inherently, collaborative networks. In this paper, we propose and implement a model that represents the various types of collaboration relationships that can be established in a WSN. This involves identifying and analyzing the different types of collaboration that may occur in any WSN. As a result, we propose a hierarchy composed by all types and different levels of collaboration, and we propose a collaborative session management tool, called WISE-MANager. This tool allows bringing these concepts into practice, more precisely to the establishment of collaborative sessions. WISE-MANager increases the WNS’s flexibility and the interaction between the user and the network.
