A service oriented wireless sensor node management system

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is rapidly evolving technology and has been applied in many fields, such as tracking and environment monitoring applications. Exponential growth in sensor data availability demands efficient data management and sharing. Thus integrated WSN with web services are becoming common in widespread applications across the world. There is a high demand for standardising access to sensor data via internet without having to use some complex and unknown protocol. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the key paradigms that enables the deployment of services at large-scale over the internet domain and its integration with WSNs open new pathways for novel applications and research. This paper presents a SOA for WSN node management and describes an implementation of services designed for crop monitoring application.
