Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks as Data Sources: Models and Languages

  • Chapter
Data Management in Pervasive Systems

Part of the book series: Data-Centric Systems and Applications ((DCSA))

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a clear example of the disappearing technology expressed by Mark Weiser [49] since they allow humans to interact with the environment, feeding the user with a large set of heterogeneous data. At the same time, the complexity of the envisaged WSN-based systems grew from a handful of homogeneous sensors to hundreds or thousands of devices differing as to their capabilities, technologies, architectures, and languages.
