Description:

TARWIS is a Web Services-based management system for administering and managing research testbeds of wireless sensor networks. TARWIS to date runs on nine different testbeds of wireless sensor network testbeds of the European Union WISEBED project, with node deployments between a few 10 to more than 100 nodes. TARWIS is a management system designed for federating testbeds of wireless sensor networks. Using Shibboleth, users can access any testbed within the WISEBED federation by using the same account credentials. The generic Web Interface, the standardized and programming-language independent Web Service interfaces of the TARWIS backend system, as well as the node and testbed-architecture independent design of TARWIS permit interested research groups to use TARWIS for their projected testbed, and to relieve them from the burden to implement own scheduling and testbed management solutions from scratch.
