  - The GENESI project has the ambitious goal of bringing WSN technology to the level where it canprovide the core of the next generation of systems for structural health monitoring that are long lasting,pervasive and totally distributed and autonomous. This goal requires embracing engineering and scientificchallenges never successfully tackled before. Sensor nodes will be redesigned to overcome their currentlimitations, especially concerning energy storage and provisioning (we need devices with virtually infinitelifetime) and resilience to faults and interferences (for reliability and robustness). New software and protocolswill be defined to fully take advantage of the new hardware, providing new paradigms for cross-layer interactionat all layers of the protocol stack and satisfying the requirements of a new concept of Quality of Service (QoS)that is application-driven, truly reflecting the end user perspective and expectations.The GENESI project will develop long lasting sensor nodes by combining cutting edge technologies for energygeneration from the environment (energy harvesting) and green energy supply (small form factor fuel cells);GENESI will define models for energy harvesting, energy conservation in super-capacitors and supplementalenergy availability through fuel cells, in addition to the design of new algorithms and protocols for dynamicallocation of sensing and communication tasks to the sensors. The project team will design communicationprotocols for large scale heterogeneous wireless sensor/actuator networks with energy-harvesting capabilitiesand define distributed mechanisms for context assessment and situation awareness.This paper presents an analysis of the GENESI system requirements in order to achieve the ambitious goals ofthe project. Extending from the requirements presented, the emergent system specification is discussed withrespect to the selection and integration of relevant system components.The resulting integrated system will beevaluated and characterised to ensure that it is capable of satisfying the functional requirements of the project
