Abstract

The current sensor networks are assumed to be designed for specific applications, having data communication protocols strongly coupled to applications. The future sensor networks are envisioned as comprising heterogeneous devices assisting to a large range of applications. To achieve this goal, a new architecture approach is needed, having application specific features separated from the data communication protocol, while influencing its behavior. We propose a Web Services approach for the design of sensor network, in which sensor nodes are service providers and applications are clients of such services. Our main goal is to enable a flexible architecture in which sensor networks data can be accessed by users spread all over the world.
