Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are widely used in environmental applications, like forest fire detection. Although forest fires occur relatively rarely, their number is increasing in Europe in the last years, so their manifestation must be early detected in order to prevent higher damages. To minimize needless communication between the sensor nodes for this usage, new data suppression technique using sliding window skylines is described in this paper. We experimentally evaluate our algorithm for continuous sliding windows skylines computation, and show its usability in practice.
