INTRODUCTION
FEASIBILITY STUDY
All projects are feasible given unlimited resources and infinite time. But the development of software is
plagued by the scarcity of resources and difficult delivery rates. It is both necessary and prudent to
evaluate the feasibility of a projects at the earliest possible time.
Three key considerations are involved in the feasibility analysis.
Economic Feasibility:
This procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a candidate system and
compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement
the system. Otherwise, further justification or alterations in proposed system will have to be made if it is
to have a chance of being approved. This is an ongoing effort that improves in accuracy at each phase of
the system life cycle.
Technical Feasibility:
Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system (hardware, software, etc.,) and to what
extent it can support the proposed addition. If the budget is a serious constraint, then the projects is
judged not feasible.
Operational Feasibility:
People are inherently resistant to change, and computers have been known to facilitate change. It is
understandable that the introduction of a candidate system requires special effort to educate, sell, and
train the staff on new ways of conducting business.
CONCEPTS
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively
monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion
or pollutants. The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated by military applications such
as battlefield surveillance. They are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas, including
industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, environment and habitat
monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control.
In addition to one or more sensors, each node in a sensor network is typically equipped with a radio
transceiver or other wireless communications device, a small microcontroller, and an energy source,
usually a battery. A sensor node might vary in size from that of a shoebox down to the size of a grain of](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/greedyroutingwithanti-130408091343-phpapp01/85/Greedy-routing-with-anti-1-320.jpg)

The cost of sensor nodes is similarly variable, ranging from hundreds of dollars to a few pennies, depending on the size of the sensor network and the complexity required of individual sensor nodes. Size and cost constraints on sensor nodes result in corresponding constraints on resources such as energy, memory, computational speed and bandwidth. A sensor network normally constitutes a wireless ad-hoc network, meaning that each sensor supports a multi-hop routing algorithm (several nodes may forward data packets to the base station). Applications The applications for WSNs are varied, typically involving some kind of monitoring, tracking, or controlling. Specific applications include habitat monitoring, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, and traffic monitoring. In a typical application, a WSN is scattered in a region where it is meant to collect data through its sensor nodes. Area monitoring Area monitoring is a common application of WSNs. In area monitoring, the WSN is deployed over a region where some phenomenon is to be monitored. For example, a large quantity of sensor nodes could be deployed over a battlefield to detect enemy intrusion instead of using landmines. When the sensors detect the event being monitored (heat, pressure, sound, light, electro-magnetic field, vibration, etc), the event needs to be reported to one of the base stations, which can take appropriate action (e.g., send a message on the internet or to a satellite). Depending on the exact application, different objective functions will require different data-propagation strategies, depending on things such as need for real- time response, redundancy of the data (which can be tackled via data aggregation and information fusion techniques), need for security, etc. Environmental monitoring A number of WSNs have been deployed for environmental monitoring. Many of these have been short lived, often due to the prototype nature of the projects. Examples of longer-lived deployments are monitoring the state of permafrost in the Swiss Alps: The PermaSense Project, PermaSense Live Data Browser and glacier monitoring.
