Software Infrastructure for Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks

Abstract

Abstract-In the development of large ad-hoc Wireless Sensor and Actuator Agent Networks (SANETS), a multitude of disparate problems are faced. In order for these networks to function, software must be able to effectively manage: unreliable dynamic distributed communication, the power constraints of un-wired devices, failure of hardware devices in hostile environments and the remote allocation of distributed processing tasks throughout the network. The solutions to these problems must be solved in a highly scalable manner. The paper describes the process of analysis of the requirements and presents a design of a serviceoriented software infrastructure (middleware) solution for scalable ad-hoc networks, in a context of a system made of mobile sensors and actuators.

Enabling Design of Middleware for Massive Scale IOT-based Systems

“…The IoT domain represents some of the greatest research challenges and opportunities that have appeared in the modern era. New emergent technological advances related to the wireless smart sensor and actuators, autonomic computing [1], Artificial Intelligence (AI), middleware [2], communication systems and protocols, engineering standards and the modern fifth generation mobile networks (5G) are driving a new paradigm whereby sensors and actuators are handled as a common infrastructure with the functionality to provide concurrent and multiple services, and smart data aggregation to variety of end users [3][4].…”

Biomimetic Middleware Design Principles for IoT Infrastructures

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) presents several potential research opportunities and raises development challenges in modern computing [7]. Technological advancements stimulate a new paradigm where sensors and actuators are managed 1,2* On leave from University of Technology, Sydney as common infrastructure, offering multiple concurrent services and intelligent data aggregation to many users [6], [12].…”

Monitoring Technologies in Mission-Critical Environment by Using Wireless Sensor Networks

“…The software-architecture can be achieved by middleware that can provide with a set of services and solutions involved in the network application (Chaczko et al, 2011). The software-based architecture is based on layered model, i.e., a set of services can interact with highly scalable central services.…”
