We developed and tested ADIOS using an expert system
building tool called CLIPS: C Language Integrated Production
System [7]. CLIPS likely requires too many resources to run on
an average mote but we chose it for our research since it was lightweight, modular, portable, low-cost and easily extensible,
mimicking all the features that a real-world implementation of
an expert system for use on sensor nodes would have. Developing
an expert system for use in wireless sensor networks
using CLIPS required us to capture and engineer facts, rules
and definitions to feed into the expert system so that it could
then use its artificial intelligence to make decisions on whether
a node on the network was behaving maliciously.
