Abstract :
This paper presents and approach for modelling and querying sensor databases for implementing continuous information systems. Our approach defines query processing strategies that exploit as much as possible the computing and energy capacities of sensors. We introduce the concept of broker for representing and associating querying capacities to sensors, so that query processing can be done by making sensors cooperate in order to retrieve data. The paper discusses also implementation issues based on the TinyDB platform.
