Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the
potential to radically transform commonly held perceptions
of computing applications and usage. From environmental
monitoring to assisting the aged in their everyday activities,
the WSN concept offers an attractive vision of how
computational technologies may positively influence
everyday life. Hence there is almost unprecedented interest
all technological issues pertinent to WSNs. However,
various issues relating to the design, deployment and
maintenance of WSNs are still crystallising. In this paper,
the case for incorporating autonomic computing principles
into the design of WSNs is articulated, in light of
acknowledged limitations of the WSN model, resulting in
what may be termed Autonomic WSNs.
