Abstract
Wireless sensor networks typically gather data at a number of locations.
However, it is desirable to be able to design applications and reason
about the data in more abstract forms than points of data. This paper
examines one way in which this can be done. By bestowing the ability to
predict inter-node values upon the network, it is proposed that it will
become possible to build applications that are unaware of the concrete
reality of sparse data. This interpolation capability is realised as a
service of the network. We present an implementation of this service and
discuss its merits and shortcomings. Additionally, we present an
initial application of the service in the form of isopleth generation.
That is, the delineation of contours of constant parameter value.
Finally, we discuss the improvements required to create more
sophisticated applications and services and examine the benefits these
improvements would bring.
