VISNET: A study case for visualize sensor ad-hoc networks behavior

Abstract

Ad-hoc sensor networks are difficult to maintain and follow, due to the facts that networks are autonomous, and nodes are usually located in a remote place. The need to monitor and keep records of the operation of these networks motivates us to develop and implement a tool that allows not only monitoring the network but also using the data circulating in it to provide useful information to a community, either about the conditions of the environment, climate or other type of information that can be captured through sensors. This paper proposes a way to implement a visualization tool and shows the experiments performed over a wireless Ad-hoc network using temperature and humidity sensors.
