Wireless sensor networks are data-centric, in which data management and representation is a crucial issue. In this
paper, sensor networks deployed to monitor wetland and underwater environment by multi-hop networks are equipped with
the Network-centered Software Platform to visualize the data and topology. Our visualization software platform adopts threelayer
model as architecture. The three-layer model equips our visualization software platform with favorable flexibility,
scalability, better security, higher reusability and good fault tolerance. The technologies involved in this paper include serial
communication, database management and data visualization which is to visualize the data gathered by wireless sensor
networks. The database can be accessed by both local users and remote users through Internet. Of course the users must have
an authority to know the conditions of wireless sensor networks. Practical experiments have illustrated that our visualization
software platform can get data from the wireless sensor networks and provide real time and historical information for users. It
is convenient and efficient.
