Abstract
Wireless sensor networks provide a new way of working for applications such as indoor monitoring, security or robotics. The Ecosense project aims to monitor all devices consuming energy in an intelligent building. We are developing this project in steps. Firstly, we have deployed a network equipped only with sensors (for temperature, humidity, luminosity, and electrical consumption, as well as presence detectors). Secondly, we will add an upper layer of manager agents (actors) to communicate and negotiate services. Afterwards, we will obtain conclusions about the sensed data and we will then extend a full wireless sensor network to cover the whole building. The network prototype will also be used to test power-and-time efficient protocols developed by us.
