Broering - Bridging Sensor Networks and Sensor Webs @ WOT2010

Editor's Notes

  1. The focus of the Sensor Web (-> SWE) design is the interaction with the application level. That is already well-defined.However, the Sensor Web design does not sufficiently describe the interaction between sensors and SWE services, yet.There is a conceptual gap between the 2 layers:Sensor Web is based on the WWW and its related protocols. On the other hand, sensor network technologies are based on lower-level protocols such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, the IEEE 1451 standards family, or often proprietary protocols
  2. Currently, the Sensor Web and sensor network layer are integrated by manually adapting the internal logic of the services to the specific sensor types. These proprietary bridges have to be manually built for each pair of Web service and sensor type. This approach is cumbersome and leads to extensive adaption efforts to link the two layers. Since the price of sensor devices is decreasing rapidly, these adaption efforts become the key cost factor in large-scale sensor network system.

  9. By taking a use case from disaster management, we outline the challenges and demonstrate how semantically annotated SWE data models and service interfaces support semantic matching.A fast extending blaze at the waste dump of Muenster in Germany causes a dispersion of pollutants into the air. The air pollutants threaten an important European bird reserve, the so called Rieselfelder, and the surrounding settlements. In our scenario, mobile sensors are deployed to monitor air pollutants, wind speed, and wind direction. We assume that a local Sensor Web is already in place and used by a disaster relief organization. The newly deployed sensors have to be made available within the SensorWeb on-the-fly. Applications can directly utilize the gathered observations to get an overview of the situation and for dispersion simulations. Additionally, we assume that the sensors used in this gas plume scenarioare accompanied by a SensorML self-description provided by its vendor or manufacturer.Such a scenario is typical for Sensor Web use cases as it covers two important tasks at the same time - device discovery (e.g., which sensors are necessary to monitor the gas plume) and data discovery (e.g., which data can be used to compute the dispersion of the gas plume).
