A sensor network using content-aware messaging network architecture

The present paper describes an approach to the construction of a sensor network using a messaging network. A messaging network is an overlay network with a set of content-aware message handling capabilities. The use of a messaging network can reduce the complexity and maintenance burden of integrated sensor information systems. Message mediation (a function of the messaging network) enables interoperation of various applications and integration of diverse sensor data. Subscription (another concept in the messaging network) enables proper information delivery of the sensor data to each user. The proposed approach is helpful in implementing an SOA-based sensor network and enables flexible sensor network configuration and utilization.
