  1. Global Sensor Networks A Platform for the Internet of Things Ali Salehi, Prof. Karl Aberer

  2. Sensors, Interconnected! and Actuators, What are Sensor Networks ?

  3. Properties of existing solutions Time consuming Hire Expert(s) Expensive To Modify People don't benefit from sensor networks.

  4. Motivation, ? ?

  5. Stream of Data. • Structure can be defined. • Common Requirements. Virtual Sensor Question : What is common ?

  6. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN Internet of Things.

  7. Solution, A Software : • Hardware independent, any new hardware (sensors and actuators) should be integratable. • Application independent. • Light & Scalable (internet scale ; peer to peer) • Modifications MUST be very cheap and simple. • Modifications MUST be applied while system is running. Restarting the internet ?!!!

  8. Design, Global Sensor Networks • Common data processing, management and interfacingrequirements, off the shelf. • GSN = implementation of thevirtual sensor concept and theall the listed requirements. • Multi layered architecture to be deployable on resource constrained devices.

  9. Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity (1) Email to MMS Service (swisscom) A ) Select Image from Camera B ) Select Temperate from MoteA Application description Select Camera.Image from A[window 1],B[window 10min] where avg(temperature) >30

  10. Control EngineersAutomatic Control Laboratory ,ETHZ Requirements: Simplicity, Unified Abstraction. Light & Temperature GSN Matlab Controller Electric blinds

  11. Stream Services • Develop sensor network applications : • Virtual sensors. • Might produce a stream of data (service). • Buy a stream source : • Hardware and/or Service (E.g., Lausanne temperature ). GSN Virtual Sensors StreamSources

  12. Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity (2) • Self identifying devices (IEEE 1451). • TEDS and Virtual TEDS. • Zero-programming deployment. Template Virtual Sensor NewVirtual Sensor + TEDS =

  13. High Level View of The GSN * Uniform API for developing Sensor Network Applications. * Declarative Requirement Management. * Uniform API for exporting sensor data to the GSN. * Various protocols (interfaces) for accessing data.

  14. Resource Discovery • Addressing the virtual sensors : • Static (e.g., socket address). • Dynamic using a set of predicates : • Using a Directory Service:<predicate key=“GPS.Latitude”>46.3423</predicate> <predicate key=“Type”>temperature</predicate> • Distributed Directory Service (DDS)*: • Based on P-Grid infrastructure. • Each node acts as a peer in DDS. * Not implemented yet.

  15. Resource Constrained Devices • Resources are allocated on demand. • Resource sharing as much as possible. • 20 virtual sensors, 10% > CPU, 64MB RAM, 500 Mhz. • Requirements (e.g., Nokia 770), • 32-bit processor. • 64 MB Memory and/or Swap Option. • 25 MB Storage.

  16. Wrappers, as of Today Bridge between the sensors/actuators and the GSN.

  17. Outcome as of today. • Successful Open Source Project. • More than 20 sensors/actuators supported. • 7 Releases of the engine (Stable). • 30K visitors, 600 downloads. Users Community GNU GPL License

  18. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN GSN, Middleware for Internet of Things. Q/A
