Architecting Sensor Networks Publish/Subscribe Applications: A Semantic Technology-Oriented Approach
Biao Dong, Jinhui Chen · 2016
This paper presents a semantic technology-oriented approach(STOA) for architecting sensor networks applications using publish/subscribe(Pub/Sub) paradigm.Considering the high level abstraction which is necessary for sensor networks knowledge sharing and reusing, sensor ontologies are defined to describe the related concepts and their relationships, both graph-based event model and graph pattern-based subscription model for sensor networks are proposed to support events and subscriptions with complex structure, and a matching algorithm is designed to detect structure matching, semantic matching and value matching.The analysis indicates that STOA uses ontology and Pub/Sub paradigm to effectively realize knowledge classification, sharing and reuse for sensor networks applications.
