A sensor Web language for mesh architectures

Abstract

A sensor Web language (SWL) for mesh architectures is presented. The mesh SWL architecture was extended from a hierarchical structure to provide a more robust environment to deploy, maintain and operate sensor networks. Alerts, direct sensor node communication, multiple gateway nodes and dynamic configuration are realized. With mesh architecture support in SWL, multiple sensor networks are provided with greater flexibility, more reliable operation and machinery to better support self-diagnosis and inferencing with sensor data.
