The main objective of this research is to develop reconfigurable smart components technologies for supporting wireless sensor information systems. The reconfigurable system software and network protocols will be utilized in distributed wireless applications involving wireless devices, such as sensors, RFID tags, interrogators, wireless links, mobile routers and remote data sources. The expected results are configurable network protocols and software for mobile sensor information processing. These reconfigurable mechanisms and infrastructure will also support other applications in manufacturing, multi-robot systems, vehicles, spontaneous home networks and reconfigurable laboratories.
