Item PLANTS DEMO - Enabling mixed societies of communicating plants and artefacts(2006) Barton, John; O'Flynn, Brendan; Aherne, Kevin; Morrissey, Anthony; Cassells, Alan; Drossos, Nikos; Goumopoulos, Christos; Tooke, Fiona; Whitbread-Abrutat, PeterSeveral applications, such as precision farming, military field monitoring and seismic activity monitoring require reliable and extended lifetime deployments of potentially a very large number of wireless sensor and actuator nodes. As hardware becomes cheaper and smaller, more of these applications are likely to appear, particularly as these miniaturised nodes offer the opportunity for the electronics to be embedded unobtrusively into everyday objects. This paper will present results from an EU funded project, PLANTS. PLANTS is a research project devising a novel technology that will allow plants to control their own environments. Using this technology, plant signals are detected, analysed and an appropriate response activated. The PLANTS system automatically responds to a plant's needs.
