Sensor Cloud: A Cloud of Virtual Sensors

Abstract

Newer models for interacting with wireless sensors such as Internet of Things and Sensor Cloud aim to overcome restricted resources and efficiency. The Missouri S&T (science and technology) sensor cloud enables different networks, spread in a huge geographical area, to connect together and be employed simultaneously by multiple users on demand. Virtual sensors, which are at the core of this sensor cloud architecture, assist in creating a multiuser environment on top of resource-constrained physical wireless sensors and can help in supporting multiple applications.
