Service-oriented middleware for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

There is a wide range of applications for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with different needs. The network infrastructure and data dissemination protocol change according to each specific application requirement. To achieve the best network performance, it is important to adapt the network operation to the application needs. We propose a middleware system for WSNs, which provides a layer between user applications and the network. Such middleware offers an automatic choice of the network configuration and data dissemination strategy.
