Scalable querying and tracking of sensor networks from mobile platforms
Stefan Pleisch, Ken Birman · 2005
With the widespread availability of wireless technology and the deployment of an increasing variety of sensors, information generated by sensors is becoming available to applications running on mobile nodes. Retrieving this information in a reliable, efficient manner will be an important building block for many applications. However, unreliable, low bandwidth communication links and node mobility make efficient, reliable, and scalable information retrieval a challenge.
