ParaSense -- A Sensor Integrated Cloud Based Internet of Things Prototype for Real Time Monitoring Applications

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become an integral part of weather monitoring applications in a wide range of domains such as environmental monitoring, health-care, asset monitoring modern warfare scenarios, industrial and production monitoring. The available applications provide services to these domains on an hourly basis and are highly accurate. With the exploration and advancement in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), the focal point has shifted towards the interoperability of WSNs and a cloud based central data repository which collaborates and comprehends a uniquely identifiable internet like structure. This bottom up internet-like structure has paved the way for a Sensor Integrated Cloud based architecture PARASENSE. This paper provides a detailed run down on the PARASENSE architecture which integrates WSN with Internet of Things. Using the PARASENSE architecture, a set of real time applications can be deployed, some of them are illustrated in this paper.
