TL;DR: The experience during the introduction and deployment of an experimental sensor network at an ecological horticultural enterprise in the semiarid region of Murcia is described, which presents the topology of the deployed network using four types of nodes, some of them connected to different sensors distributed in the field.

TL;DR: The literature is systematically reviewed to offer an overview of the present state of this field of study and identify the principal resources that have been used to implement networks of this kind and the challenges and difficulties that have to be overcome if these networks are to be successfully deployed.

TL;DR: The system design is based on a number of fundamental requirements that set it apart from other recent proposals: low cost of implementation, the possibility of application in coastal shallow-water marine environments, suitable dimensions for deployment and stability of the sensor system in a shifting environment like the sea bed, and total autonomy of power supply and data recording.

TL;DR: A Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach to WSN application development has been presented and automatic model transformations between these three abstraction levels have been designed and, in order to demonstrate the viability of the proposal, a real WSNApplication has been developed using the implemented tools.

TL;DR: The appearance of model-driven engineering (MDE) has invigorated research on domain-specific languages (DSLs) and automatic code generation and represents a synergistic union that can significantly improve software development.
