Abstract: Wireless sensor network refers to a group of sensors, linked by a
wireless medium to perform distributed sensing task. The primary interest is
their capability in monitoring the physical environment through the deployment
of numerous tiny, intelligent, wireless networked sensor nodes. Our interest
consists of a sensor network, which includes a few specialized nodes called
processing elements that can perform some limited computational capabilities.
In this paper, we propose a model called SPLAI that allows the network to
compute a finite element problem where the processing elements are modeled as
the nodes in the linear triangular approximation problem. Our model also
considers the case of some failures of the sensors. A simulation model to
visualize this network has been developed using C++ on the
Windows environment.
Keywords: Wireless sensor network, corona, wedges, routing and finite element method
