ABSTRACT
Efficiency and flexibility are among the key requirements for
Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) of Internet of
Things (IoT) era. In this work we present and demonstrate a novel
WSAN and IoT platform. The new nodes are constructed by
stacking together the different hardware modules encapsulating
power sources, processing units, wired and wireless transceivers,
sensors and actuators, or sets of those. Once a node is built, its
processing unit can automatically identify all the connected
hardware modules, obtain required software modules and tune
node’s operation accounting for its structure, available resources
and active applications
