Service-oriented sensor network for environmental monitoring

This paper describes a service-oriented architecture implementation in the smart transducers network for environmental monitoring. Web service provider is defined using Web Service Description Language (WSDL) and implemented on the ARM microcontroller that is Internet enabled. Given solution represents an advanced Smart Transducer Web Services (STWS) concept realization, which typically requires a general purpose computer. For testing purposes a client application is developed, communication with server is demonstrated, and sensor measurements are shown. Described services are useful for the distributed sensor application development where efficient access to the IEEE 1451.0 physical devices is needed.
