Abstract

The paper suggests an operating system-based framework that provides a comprehensive approach for energy management in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Differently from what proposed in the related literature, the suggested mechanisms decouple the logic behind energy management policies from their implementation. This novel approach allows WSN-users for easily developing their own management policy guaranteeing at the same time independency from the specific network topology, the application running on nodes and the hardware platform.
