"Distributed Sensor Query Processing"

By Mr. Wenwei Xue


Abstract:

As todays sensor network applications become increasingly ubiquitous,
diversified and data-intensive, the design and implementation of a
DBMS-like query processing engine for sensor networks has gained a lot of
research attention recently.  The unique characteristics of current sensor
nodes and sensor networks present new design challenges for a sensor
database engine in comparison with a traditional one.  In this survey, we
review existing sensor network query processing engines in terms of their
system architectures, underlying data models, declarative query languages
and distributed query processing techniques.
