Abstract:
This document specifies the Sensor Service Architecture (SensorSA) of the European Integrated Project FP6-033564 Sensors Anywhere (SANY). In its present Version 2 it corresponds to the SANY deliverable D2.3.3.
The SensorSA belongs to the family of service-oriented architectures (SOA) but has a particular focus on the access, the management and the processing of information provided by sensors and sensor networks. As such, it contains sensor-specific services. However, in order to provide a higher-level, functionally and semantically richer interface to environmental risk management applications it also has to abstract from the peculiarities of sensors and to encompass generic information processing functionality. Thus, there is a sliding passage to the functionality of a generic service infrastructure.
The SensorSA foresees mechanisms to generate events and distribute them as notifications to interested consumers. This enables spontaneous distribution of information about changing configurations in underlying sensor networks, e.g. the dynamic addition or removal of sensor devices, which is a pre-requisite for the support of the "plug-and-measure" type of operation. Furthermore, the SensorSA relates the basic concepts of a resource-oriented architecture (ROA) such as resources and their representations to the SOA concepts in order to gain flexibility in discovery tasks and the mapping to underlying mainstream Web service environments.
