Studies on Application Architectures for Web Enablement of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks

Abstract

quotThe rapid growth of the Internet and web speeds up the emergence of the hyper world. Pervasive computing was the important bi product of the two. The Primary motive of pervasive computing is the two way coupling of real world things to the hyper world. The development in the field of smart sensing enabled us to develop smart things like cars, tools, gadgets, wearings and various household appliances. The smart things can be considered as the data gathering, preprocessing (in some cases) and communicating entities. Sensors are fundamental elements of all devices that gather data newlineand require feedback for their operation, The rapid growth in Sensor networks create new opportunities in numerous application domains like smart cities, smart campuses, surveillance and security scenarios, industrial automation, energy efficient appliances and environments. newline newlineRecent convergence of advanced embedded devices, wireless technologies and Internet increased the trend of ubiquitous connection of computing devices and physical things. Presently many solutions (in the form of Sensor Nodes, Embedded devices) are available to connect them to the Internet. Since various companies use incompatible standards and protocols, which makes the mesh up of these devices manufactured by different companies to the Internet a complex process. Leading to the less flexible heterogeneous sensor and actuator networks, as a consequence the integration of simple newlinesensor networks to the Internet applications requires domain experts and a lot of time. Hence the acceptability of these solutions was limited newlinequot newline newline
