Towards Internet of Things: Integration of Wireless Sensor Network to Cloud Services for Data Collection and Sharing

Web applications with special computation and storage requirements benefit greatly from the cloud computing model. With an extensible and flexible architecture, Wireless Sensor Networks are integrated with the Cloud. It is possible to directly integrate REST-based Web services into other application domains, such as e-health care, smart homes, and even vehicular area networks (VANs). An IP-based WSN testbed has been used to implement a proof of concept REST API web service for accessing data from anywhere using a REST API. When monitoring data exceeds values or events of interest, users will receive notifications by email or tweet.
