Design and Implementation of Sensor Data Sharing Platform for Virtualized Wide Area Sensor Networks

Abstract

We propose a new concept for sensor network sharing which we call 'VFSN: Virtual Federated Sensor Network' that enables multiple applications to share widely distributed sensor networks flexibly, preserving resource isolations. In VFSN, virtualized sink called 'vSink' are interconnected via Peer-to-Peer network to achieve dedicated federated sensor network. We defined operations that are required to operate VFSN for multiple sensor information service providers. We have developed a prototype system of VFSN and confirmed its basic behaviors using some sample applications. In this paper, we show the basic concept of the VFSN and its implementation designs using a Peer-to-Peer framework PIAX.

Resource Allocation Model for Sensor Clouds under the Sensing as a Service Paradigm

“…This way, the access and interaction with physical Things becomes uniform and in compliance with IoT/WoT goals. Specific platforms providing efficient sharing mechanisms for data (among multiple applications) have been proposed in [4,25,26]. In [4], the extra challenge is multitenancy considering both sensor providers and consumers, and on-demand big data sensing service.…”

Developing an On-Demand Cloud-Based Sensing-as-a-Service System for Internet of Things

“…Integrated approaches to share the sensing data on existing sensor networks [14][15][16] provide efficient sharing mechanisms among multiple applications. A framework of sensorcloud integration (FSCI) [14] utilizes the ever-expanding sensor data with a content-based pub/submodel.…”

“…Approaches using crowd-sourced mobile devices as sensors have been proposed [2,12,13]; they utilize the sensors of existing mobile devices to fulfil user requests. Integrated approaches to share the sensing data on existing sensor networks [14][15][16] provide efficient sharing mechanisms among multiple applications. However, these studies have not resolved the challenges related to the engagement and connectivity for diverse sensor networks, multitenancy considering both sensor providers and consumers in CSaaS, and on-demand big data sensing service.…”

Hierarchy-aware skip graph for sensing resource discoveries on large-scale sensor overlay networks

“…As the infrastructure of the integrated sensor networks, researchers widely accept connecting the gateways with a flexible overlay middleware that can hide the differences among different sensor networks [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This kind of infrastructure can also be referred to as sensor overlay network.…”
