Abstract

In this chapter, we address autonomic networking in termsof wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a typical example of wirelessnetworks in pervasive computing. In order to investigate the stateof the art of autonomic networking in sensor networks and its futureprospects, we start with a short summary of autonomic networking andSensor networks. It follows the discussion of the appliance ofautonomic networking in WSNs and existing research approaches. Afterthat, we adopt fault management as an example to demonstrate howautonomic networking and architecture-based approaches fits into thedesign of autonomic sensor networks.
