AmritaWNA received the best poster award in ACM SENSYS 2013

This paper deals with an optimal energy management scheme in Landslide detection system deployed in Kerala. Based on the meteorological, hydrological and soil parameters, sensors will be prioritized and selects appropriate sensors for event handling. This research work has developed effective algorithms for sensor prioritization, dynamic scheduling and adaptive sampling which makes the system energy efficient. The results of this research work shows that the life time of the network has been extended due to the implementation of this adaptive energy management schemes.
