iSensA – A System for Collecting and Integrating Sensor Data

Abstract

The idea of monitoring several types of parameters in various environments has been motivating significant research works in Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents the design and construction of iSensA, a system for integrating and collecting information from sensors. The solution implements a multi-sensor monitoring system and then expands the monitoring concept to an IoT solution, by employing multi-network access, Web services, database and web and mobile applications for user interaction. iSensA system is highly configurable, enabling several monitoring solutions with different types of sensors. Experiments have been performed on real application scenarios to validate and evaluate our proposition.

“…), and enables precision agriculture. Precision agriculture uses data-driven decisions with a base of information technology to ensure that crops and soil receive exactly what is necessary for optimum heathy and productivity [10,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Figure 1 summarizes most of the challenges in farming and livestock production, subdivided into monitoring, measuring, tracking, and controlling.…”
