  2. Agenda • Sensor networks • Aggregation • Agent aggregation specifics • Problem model: aggregation graph • Computing a tour Agent-friendly aggregation 2

  3. Sensor networks • Sense/measure the environment • Temperature • Sound • Vibration • Pressure • Motion • … Agent-friendly aggregation 3

  4. Sensor networks Base station Agent-friendly aggregation 4

  5. Wireless sensor networks Base station Agent-friendly aggregation 5

  6. Example: Sun SPOT Sensors • Processing • 180 MHz 32 bit ARM920T core - 512K RAM - 4M Flash • 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio with integrated antenna • Sensor Board • Battery • 3.6V rechargeable 750 mAh lithium-ion battery • 30 uA deep sleep mode Agent-friendly aggregation 6

  7. Data aggregation • Severe resource limitations (battery, sending power) • Often high redundancy of sensor measurements (time and space) • Aggregate data before sending it to the base station (e.g., AVG, SUM, MIN,…) • Aggregation tree Agent-friendly aggregation 7

  8. Aggregation tree Base station Agent-friendly aggregation 8

  9. Aggregation using a mobile (software) agent • Code is sent through the sensor network… • … runs on (all/some) network nodes … • collects and aggregates data • … and returns to the base station. Agent-friendly aggregation 9

  13. What route to take? • Visit all nodes • Energy-efficiency • Avoid visiting nodes/edges several times (possible exception: base station) • Possibly not a tree-like structure! Agent-friendly aggregation 13

  14. Aggregation tree Base station Agent-friendly aggregation 14

  15. Problem modelling • Sensor network as undirected graph Base station Agent-friendly aggregation 15

  17. Problem modelling • Sensor network as undirected graph Agent-friendly aggregation 17

  18. Assumption • Graph is known (to base station) • (i.e. sensors and their adjacency is known) • … and does not change, static Agent-friendly aggregation 18

  19. Hamiltonian cycle • Given a graph G=(V,E) • Find a cycle visiting all nodes • Hard problem Agent-friendly aggregation 19

  20. Travelling Salesman (TSP) • Given a weighted graph G=(V,E) • Find shortest tour visiting all nodes • Compare all Hamiltonian cycles • Hard problem Agent-friendly aggregation 20

  21. Hard problems? • Hard in the worst case • But: there is hope for some graphs; problems are solvable on average for these instances • Unit disk model: n nodes are distributed uniformly at random in the unit disk, nodes within distance r (trans-mission radius) can communicate Agent-friendly aggregation 21

  22. Assumption • Apart from base station, all sensors can send and receive within the same distance, not possible to adapt signal strength (due to unit disk model) Agent-friendly aggregation 22

  23. Hamiltonian cycle for unit disk graphs (Bollobas et al., Petit) • Remove trees, 2-core remains • While no cycle is found, backtrack through different rotations (permutations) • Take a path from the list of partial paths • Try to extend it at either side with an unvisited node If impossible, • If cyclic, search for a node with a yet unvisited neighbor (exists due to connectivity) • Else, for endpoints, check for another adjacent node on the path and rotate Agent-friendly aggregation 23
