Data collection for widely distributed mass of sensors

Abstract

Due to the increasing computational capacity of embedded systems, it has now become possible to monitor a given area efficiently by using a mass of low-cost sensors. However, the collection and analysis of such big data is still an open question from the perspective of energy efficiency. In this article will show a concept which covers the whole lifecycle of such huge scale sensor networks. We introduce a deployment and maintenance solution for uncharted areas. We present a method for gathering the measured data of each sensor and we will show a system for analyzing and visualizing the collected data.
