Abstract


With the recent advancements in technology, it is expected that the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) will be used in most of the commonly used applications which include consumer electronics, PC peripherals, home automation, home security, personal healthcare, toys and games, intelligent agriculture. In this paper, we explore the applicability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in a real life context such as for modern agricultural approach to monitor and control soil moisture, soil fertility level and pest growth. Based on a detailed exploration of information needs, we design a series of precise use cases, provide system design, implementation and present a simulation including an interface to wireless sensors for amateurs. We suggest automation of environment monitoring and control, and of tasks that would demand too much time and resources if manually done. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consisting of nodes with limited power are deployed to gather useful information from the field. In WSNs it is critical to collect the information in an energy efficient manner. Using Ant Colony Algorithm we try to make the aggregation energy efficient.
