Abstract :
Customer-driven sensor management advocates applying e-commerce concepts and advances to sensor management. In e-commerce, customer wants essentially drive the production process. Sensor management has traditionally followed a much less capitalistic process, producing information "goods" based on predefined system goals and priorities. We explore here some of the possibilities and advantages of incorporating a customer-driven market-based approach to sensor management.This article is part of a special issue on Self-Managing Systems.
