Abstract
In this chapter, EMMON [1, 2], a system architecture for large-scale, dense, real-time embedded monitoring is outlined. EMMON provides a hierarchical communication architecture together with integrated middleware (MW) and command and control (C&C) software. It has been designed to use standard commercially-available technologies, while maintaining as much flexibility as possible to meet specific applications requirements. The EMMON architecture has been validated through extensive simulation and experimental evaluation, including a 400+ node test-bed in a real end-user environment, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest single-site WSN deployment in Europe to date.

Notes
- 1.
End-to-end delay, throughput, security, reliability and lifetime.
- 2.
Details on the Portable Device as an optional element at Tier-2.b are out of scope of this work.
- 3.
The geo-routing has been already described in Sect. 6.2.2 as an amendment of the ZigBee protocol stack.
- 4.
In the first instantiation, positions are statically defined, and the area associated with a reading is the bounding box around the sensors it comes from.
- 5.
Maximum number of hops between a SN and the GW.
