Integrated smart sensor networking framework for sensor-based appliances
M. Sveda, Radimı́r Vrba · IEEE Sensors Journal · 2003
This paper presents an integrated, sensor networking framework stemming from the IEEE 1451 smart transducer interface standard. This object-based networking model is complemented by the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA), a Compaq-Intel-Microsoft approach to Internet messaging, and by the Internet Protocol (IP) multicast communication, mediating efficient and unified access from Internet to smart sensors. An application of networked sensors that offers a reusable design pattern for a class of sensor-based appliances is analyzed. The kernel of the paper focuses utilization of this framework for a computer-based pressure measurement systems developing environment as a real-world project while stressing smart pressure sensor and Internet connectivity architectures.
