Outline of Final Research Achievements

A capability to change functions or roles of nodes dynamically in operation is required for sensor network systems. Existing researches have mainly focused on techniques for changing functions of sensor nodes dynamically in software level. In contrast to this, we developed a system that has a capability to change functions of nodes dynamically in hardware level utilizing dynamically reconfigurable devices including PSoC. It realizes drastic changes of accuracy of sensing or sampling rates with changing behavior of analog circuits, and an addition of a co-processor function to running node online.
