Overview >> WSAN4CIP
| The Objective | The goal of WSAN4CIP (1.1.2009 - 31.12.2011) is to advance the technology of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) and to apply this technology to the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (CI), i.e. power generation and distribution. |
| Challenges |
• Design new sensor node protection mechanism to improve their dependability; • Develop innovative dependable networking approaches for WSANs; • Create dependable services to run on top of WSANs that ensure a controlled degradation of information in case of failures rather than total management system failure. |
| IHP’s Contribution |
• Requirement driven configuration of sensor node software • Secure and dependable execution environment • Detection of node misbehaviour • Intelligent energy and QoS management • Technical project management |
| Funding | The project is funded by EU FP-7 (ICT-225186). |
