We focus on the problem of managing a shared physical wireless sensor network where a single network infrastructure provider leases the physical resources of the networks to application providers to run/deploy specific applications/services. In this scenario, we solve jointly the problems of Application Admission Control (AAC), that is, whether to admit the application/service to the physical network, and wireless Sensor Network Slicing (SNS), that is, to allocate the required physical resources to the admitted applications in a transparent and effective way. We propose a mathematical programming framework to model the joint AAC-SNS problem which is then leveraged to design effective solution algorithms. The proposed framework is thoroughly evaluated on realistic wireless sensor networks infrastructures.
