| Summary: | In the future, sensors will enable a large variety of new services in
different domains. Important application areas are service adaptations in
fixed and mobile environments, ambient assisted living, home automation,
traffic management, as well as management of smart grids. All these
applications will share a common property, the usage of networked sensors and
actuators. To ensure an efficient deployment of such sensor-actuator
networks, concepts and frameworks for managing and distributing sensor data
as well as for triggering actuators need to be developed. In this paper, we
present an architecture for integrating sensors and actuators into the future
Internet. In our concept, all sensors and actuators are connected via
gateways to the Internet, that will be used as comprehensive transport
medium. Additionally, an entity is needed for registering all sensors and
actuators, and managing sensor data requests. We decided to use a
hierarchical structure, comparable to the Domain Name Service. This approach
realizes a cost-efficient architecture disposing of "plug and play"
capabilities and accounting for privacy issues. |
