Abstract
Sensors carried by moving objects in the cities can be used in various applications such as environmental monitoring traffic control and recreational purposes A mobile sensor network can be formed by sensors carried by people or buses In this paper we will present a mobile sensor network programming system MSNPS that can program or reprogram such mobile sensor networks The programming process is usually initiated by a user from the Internet MSNPS uses a gateway protocol to bridge the Internet and sensor network so that control and data messages can be exchanged between these two networks MSNPS sends the program data to the targeted sensor platforms using a tree structure formed by control messages We developed a prototype implementation and analyzed MSNPS system performance We also simulated the system in a mobile sensor network
