REDFLAG a Run-timE, Distributed, Flexible, Lightweight, And Generic fault detection service for data-driven wireless sensor applications. Urteaga, I., Barnhart, K., & Han, Q. In IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications, 2009, pages 1-9, March, 2009.

Increased interest in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by scientists and engineers is forcing WSN research to focus on application requirements. Data is available as never before in many fields of study; practitioners are now burdened with the challenge of doing data-rich research rather than being data-starved. In-situ sensors can be prone to errors, links between nodes are often unreliable, and nodes may become unresponsive in harsh environments, leaving to researchers the onerous task of deciphering often anomalous data. Presented here is the REDFLAG fault detection service for WSN applications, a Run-timE, Distributed, Flexible, detector of faults, that is also Lightweight And Generic. REDFLAG addresses the two most worrisome issues in data-driven wireless sensor applications: abnormal data and missing data. REDFLAG exposes faults as they occur by using distributed algorithms in order to conserve energy. Simulation results show that REDFLAG is lightweight both in terms of footprint and required power resources while ensuring satisfactory detection and diagnosis accuracy. Because REDFLAG is unrestrictive, it is generically available to a myriad of applications and scenarios.
