TARWIS
Although each testbed may differ with respect to hardware and software, all wireless sensor network testbeds require common functionalities. As every shared resource, a testbed needs a notion of users, it requires support for reprogramming and reconfiguration of the nodes, provisions to debug and remotely reset sensor nodes in case of node failures as well as a solution for collecting and storing experimental data.
TARWIS targets at providing these functionalities independent from the node type and node operating system. The system has been designed to access and manipulate a testbed from within a website, in order to also let researchers access testbed resources remotely over the Internet, in order to share testbed resources with European research partners in a federation of testbeds. TARWIS hence relieves researchers setting up a sensor network testbed from the burden to implement their own scheduling and testbed management solutions.
TARWIS contains a number of different components, such as the TARWIS Server, the TARWIS GUI, the Reservation System, the Identity Provider (IDP) plus a web interface (IDP Tools), the Service Provider (SP), and Sensor Network Authorization System (SNA) plus a web interface (SNA GUI).
