Formal Interoperability Models of Sensor Networks Based on Logical Workflow Nets

Abstract

With the advent of Internet of things and cyber physical system, sensor networks become more and more important. To better accomplish a task, multiple sensors or even multiple sensor networks need to interoperate. Logical workflow nets and cooperative logical workflow nets are introduced to formally model and analyze interoperability of sensor networks. Independent feasibility and Interoperable feasibility are important properties for ensuring correct execution and interoperability of sensor networks. Complete path nets, possible path nets, cooperative complete path nets and cooperative possible path nets are presented to decide independent feasibility and interoperable feasibility of logical workflow nets and cooperative logical workflow nets denoting interoperability of sensor networks.
