Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a group of spatially dispersed sensors for monitoring the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collected data at a central location. Since WSNs typically have no infrastructure, one of the challenges in WSNs is the lack of appropriate method for an operator to interact with the WSN. Practical tasks for WSNs require sensor node adaptive to changes in WSN configuration, user input, and commands hence, monitoring and interaction with the WSN is needed. In this paper, a new scheme for configuration dissemination with monitoring of sensor state is proposed to control dynamically sensor node operation in real time. Moreover, a method is provided for the operator to observe the state of the sensor node, which helps the operator provide an appropriate control input to the WSN. We prove the stability properties of the proposed algorithm and show the simulation results.
