Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have found more and more applications in a
variety of pervasive computing environments. However, how to support the development …

While Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been traditionally tasked with single
applications, in recent years we have witnessed the emergence of Shared Sensor Networks …

In recent years, significant advances have been achieved in almost all research areas
related to Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs) including hardware, architectures, operating …

Abstract The Internet of Things enables human beings to better interact with and understand
their surrounding environments by extending computational capabilities to the physical …

We propose an energy-efficient service discovery protocol for heterogeneous wireless
sensor networks that interact with the users in open and dynamic environments. Our solution …

Most approaches developed to query sensor-actuator networks (SANETs) are either
application-specific or generic. Application-specific SANETs provide limited reusability, are …

This paper aims to examine how the sensor information can be shared, through a new
resource called “cloud”. The recent research issue in integrating Wireless sensor Networks …

Wireless sensor networks need different satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) levels for their
successful operation. Providing QoS support for wireless sensor networks at the middleware …

The concept of sensing-as-a-service is proposed to enable a unified way of accessing and
controlling sensing devices for many Internet of Things based applications. Existing …

Integrating wireless sensor networks in heterogeneous net-works is a complex task. A
reason is the absence of a stan-dardized data exchange format that is supported in all par …
