Design & implementation of a wireless sensor prototyping kit

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSN) has become an active area of research among computer scientists. In this work, JONA, a prototyping kit for wireless sensors, will be described. The intention of this kit is to open WSN research to interested parties outside of the electrical engineering and computer science communities, who may wish to use wireless sensor networks in their own work. The kit's hardware and software are based upon de facto standards for academic research (Crossbow and TinyOS), with an emphasis on low cost and ease of development. This research has the dual goals of describing a classroom kit and developing a self-contained document providing background material suitable for an introductory project-based class on WSN.
