Sensing as a Service - Architectures for Closed-loop Sensor Network Virtualization

Abstract:

The goal of this project is to demonstrate that new cyber physical architectures will enable closed-loop sensor networks to be shared among multiple applications. This aids in dynamically allocating sensing and computing resources necessary to analyze sensor data and perform sensor actuation. Existing closed-loop sensor networks are based on dedicated, ``stove-pipe'' architectures, that prevent the sharing of these networks.
