This thesis tackles Performability issues in Wireless sensors networks. Performability is a mission-specific measure of system effectiveness that seeks to combine the traditional reliability and performance measures of a system. Wireless Sensor networks consist of a huge number of small sensor nodes, which communicate wirelessly. These sensor nodes can be spread out in hard accessible areas by what new applications fields can be pointed out [13]. This thesis aims to provide wireless communication architecture for Petroleum installations, such as off shore platforms and on shore processing units, ...
