Abstract

In this paper, we show the process of designing a wildfire prevention system based on a time-driven wireless sensor and actuator network. The description highlights the architectural and cooperative aspects of the proposed system, as well as key design issues related with the deployment of nodes and the construction of a data-gathering tree that optimizes system lifetime and reduces the number of relay nodes necessary to create a connected network.
