It has been argued that one of the key characteristics of sensor networks is that they are tightly coupled with the applications running on top of them. Although WSNs have been an active area of research for over a decade, real world sensor network deployments have not yet found their way to widespread adoption. The experience gained and lessons learned during the initial attempts to deploy WSNs and implement various sensor network applications are very valuable for the ad- vancement of this technology. Recognizing the need of a conference dedicated to practical aspects of WSN per- taining to their employment in a plethora of applications, ICST launched SENSAPPEAL as a yearly event whose first edition took place in September 2009 at the Athens Information Technology campus in the outskirts of Athens, Greece. The First International Conference on Sensor Networks Applications, Experimenta- tion and Logistics (SENSAPPEAL 2009) brought together researchers and developers from academia and industry that presented their work and shared their experiences with developing, deploying and testing WSN applications. More specifically, the technical program of SENSAPPEAL 2009 included presentations on a wide variety of WSN applications in wild fire detection and tracking, agriculture, water quality moni- toring, people tracking for psychological experiments and smart management of the human environment. Other presentations addressed a number of issues in application development and WSN deployment such as application portability, in-field sensor reprogramming and software updates, overcoming network protocol stack compatibil- ity issues, the impact of weather conditions on sensor communications in outdoors environments and the development of an IP capable sensor node with off-the-self hardware and software components. Moreover, the development of an open large-scale WSN testbed which can be used for testing networks protocols and appli- cations was introduced to the conference attendees. The international nature of the conference was reflected in the geographical diversity of the authors: Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzer- land, the UK, and the USA. The keynote address at SENSAPPEAL 2009 entitled “Wireless Innovations as En- ablers for Complex and Dynamic Large Artificial Systems” was delivered by AIT Professor Gregory S. Yovanof. In his presentation Prof. Yovanof provided a compre- hensive overview of current technological developments and research projects in the field of wireless communications which will lead to the not-so-distant reality of the “Internet of things.” SENSAPPEAL 2009 was a one-day conference which included one keynote speech and four technical sessions. There were 12 papers presented at the conference, one of which was an invited paper. The conference received 24 paper submissions. After a thorough review process, 12 papers were accepted bringing the acceptance rate to VI Preface 50%. One accepted paper was withdrawn by the authors and was replaced by an in- vited paper. In conclusion, we are very encouraged by the acceptance of this conference by the academic community and strongly believe that SENSAPPEAL will grow to become a well-recognized event in the field of WSNs and their applications.

Hazard detection systems are sophisticated tools that can help us detect and prevent environmental disasters. The role of a well designed environmental hazard detection system based on a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is to continuously monitor and report the environment’s status by sampling relevant physical parameters (e.g. temperature), but at a rate that can be adapted dynamically to the criticality of the current situation, so that precious energy is conserved as much as possible and communication bandwidth is not wasted, both preconditions that need to be met for a scalable WSN application. We have designed and built a small-scale prototype of such a WSN system for fire detection and monitoring based on inexpensive in-house developed wireless sensor nodes. These nodes combine an AVR Butterfly microcontroller demonstration kit with an Xbee wireless Zigbee transceiver. The emphasis of the work reported here is on the software designed for the fire hazard detection application. We discuss the embedded computing strategy developed for the in-field sensor nodes that allows them to adjust their mode of operation (i.e. their sampling and reporting rates) dynamically and in an autonomous manner depending on the area prevailing conditions. We also discuss the functionality of the software running on the central node (PC) that is used to initialize the WSN system, synchronize nodes, monitor their status by maintaining an active registry, adjust parameters at any time, inspect real-time plots of the incoming temperature reports of selected nodes to monitor emerging trends and patterns etc. Several examples of the end-to-end system’s use are also presented and discussed. Keywords: Fire hazard detection, wireless sensor network, embedded systems AVR Butterfly, Zigbee. 1 Introduction Significant advances in embedded hardware and software technologies are driving down rapidly the cost of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and allow large-scale WSN deployments for environmental monitoring applications to become a reality. There exist already several ongoing WSN projects in Europe and worldwide for assessing habitat changes, monitoring the evolution or predicting the risk of catastrophic phenomena such as floods [1], fires [2], earthquakes [3], volcano eruptions [4], etc. N.
