Abstract:

The paper treats the problem of localization in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). In our work, we present and evaluate Wireless Sensor Network Localization System, which offers network models generator along with differ- ent localization methods including Trilateration & Sim- ulated Annealing algorithm. The paper describes exten- sion of WSN Localization System with modules support- ing distributed computing in HPC environment. A pro- vided case study concentrate on improving algorithms ro- bustness through parallel solving a huge number of local- ization tasks. WSN Localization System in distributed version is used for generation a set of test networks with various topology parameters and solving the created lo- calization tasks with very different values of method pa- rameters. Applying distributed computing in our HPC infrastructure allows to speedup calculations by two or- ders of magnitude.
