The vision is that through cooperation of many sensor nodes the accuracy of event detection can be greatly improved. On the practical side however, little real-world experience exists in how far these goals can be achieved.\\In this paper, we present the results of a small deployment of sensor nodes attached to a fence with the goal of collaboratively detecting and reporting security relevant incidents, such as a person climbing over the fence. Based on experimental data we discuss in detail the process of in-network event detection both from the conceptual side and by evaluating the results obtained. Reusing the same traces in a simulated network, we also look into the impact of multi-hop event reporting.}, day = {29-31}, file = {http://cst.mi.fu-berlin.de/papers/wittenburg07fence.pdf}, keywords = {Wireless Sensor Networks, In-network Data Processing, Event Detection, Experimental Evaluation, Use Case, Fence Monitoring}, slides = {http://cst.mi.fu-berlin.de/papers/wittenburg07fence_slides.pdf}, theme = {wsn}, }
