This paper presents an integrated, sensor networking framework stemming from the IEEE 1451 smart transducer interface standard. This object-based networking model is complemented by the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA), a Compaq-Intel-Microsoft approach to Internet messaging, and by the Internet Protocol (IP) multicast communication, mediating efficient and unified access from Internet to smart sensors. An application of networked sensors that offers a reusable design pattern for a class of sensor-based appliances is analyzed. The kernel of the paper focuses utilization of this framework for a computer-based pressure measurement systems developing environment as a real-world project while stressing smart pressure sensor and Internet connectivity architectures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
