Automatic Deployment of Secure Applications in WSN using MDA

Abstract

Research group ARCOS of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain) have been working on wireless sensor networks and their application to data recording from several sources. As part of this research we have developed a platform to automatically create and deploy secure applications for wireless sensors networks using MDA (ADSA) to develop these applications intuitively by using a GUI, and by including new and existing components for WSN, such as secure communications, ciphering, etc. This technology is useful for every kind of application using WSN and to create and deploy sensor networks in a semiautomatic way. It has several advantages compared with the traditional development, very expensive and error prone. The platform itself introduces an enhanced security by reducing to a minimum development errors and by provided a controlled development platform. Moreover, it allows to include new or legacy components, such as secure communications, easily an intuitively.
