  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.
