Wildfire impact on deterministic deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network by a discrete event simulation

Detecting and providing evolution informations of the wildfire can be a challenge for Wireless Sensor Networks. The network performance is directly related to the placement of the sensors within the field of interest. In this paper, we address the problem of wireless sensor deployment, for the purpose of following wildfire phenomenon. Based on a discrete event simulation using DEVS formalism, we show that the complexity of the fire position estimation is dependant of network deployement. We test four strategies of deployement and we show the limit of deterministic deployment in simple wildfire scenario.
