There has been a steady increase in the use of mobile computing, especially with appliances such as sensors. The main challenge in this scenario is to increase network sensor lifetime. Cluster computing integration with wireless sensor networks can represent an interesting answer for high-performance computing to monitor several environments. Computational resources available from cluster configurations are cost effective components to improve several classes of applications in many organizations. Scientific, industrial and commercial applications are more relying on cluster performance. OSCAR is a useful open software approach to manage cluster of workstations. In this article, we present a middleware design and implementation that integrates an OSCAR cluster configuration with a wireless sensor network environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
