Fault tolerance is a key research area for many of applications such as those based on sensor network technologies. In a large scale wireless sensor network (WSN), it becomes important to find new methods for fault-tolerance that can meet new application requirements like Internet of things, urbane intelligence and observation systems. The challenge is beyond the limit of a single wireless sensor network and concerns multiple widely interconnected sub networks. The domain of fault grows considerably because of this new configuration. In this context, the paper proposes a fault fuzzy-ontology (FFO) for large scale WSNs to be used within a Web service architecture for diagnosis and testing.
