Abstract

We introduce GreenOrbs, our recent effort in exploring the fundamental challenges and future direction of long-term large-scale applications of wireless sensor networks. An integrated framework with more than 1000 sensors has been implemented, including the indoor test bed, prototype systems, and forest deployment: comprehensively supporting research, development, and forestry applications.
