Abstract

In the near future, millions to billions of small sensors and actuators will be embedded in our environment and connected to the Internet. The combination of these heterogeneous sensing systems can provide enormous amounts of timely, comprehensive, continuous, and multiresolution observations for creating innovative applications. This entry presents the architectural components of an end‐to‐end sensor web system, from the wireless sensor network nodes in the field to the interoperable sensor web services on the web. Design tradeoffs and research challenges are also introduced. Finally, the Internet of Things, the next generation sensor web, is introduced.
