Date posted: 26/08/2008 In the WINSOC project, European and Indian researchers are applying principles learned from living organisms to design self-organising networks of wireless sensors suitable for environmental monitoring. These sensors would be proof against node failures and capable of being implemented on large scales. They developed mathematical models of biological systems and translated them into algorithms to determine how the sensor nodes should interact with each other, using self-organisation. The sensor nodes communicate with their neighbours to arrive at a consensus on what has been sensed. The network then finds the best path through the available nodes to relay this information to the control centre. WINSOC may well be a prototype for the systems built in sensor webs in general.
