Abstract
We propose that a semantic service-oriented approach is one of the best techniques to cope with challenges in wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. This paper offers a framework for sensor network services that aims to improve query processing. We expect this framework will address current challenges and issues preventing the wider uptake of WSN technology. More specifically, we propose a semantic service-oriented framework with a focus on query processing to allow distributed end-users to request streams of interest easily and efficiently, based on the principle of pushing the query down to the network nodes as much as possible. As such, the lifetime and utility of the sensor network will be maximised, ultimately leading to the success of WSN deployments. The importance of semantics, which aims to support sensor capability modelling and query writing has been highlighted. On the other hand, query rewriting is emphasised followed by examples to illustrate that query rewriting can significantly contribute to the overall power efficiency of WSNs.
