  1. Searching Internet of Sensors Junghoo (John) Cho (UCLA CS) Mark Hansen (UCLA Stat) John Heidemann (USC/ISI)

  2. Today’s Sensornet • Islands of private sensor network sensornet sensornet sensornet sensornet sensornet sensornet

  3. sensornet sensornet sensornet sensornet sensornet the Internet sensornet Internet of Sensors • Public network of multiple sensor networks

  4. Benefits of Internet of Sensors • Easy sharing and easy access • Leverage what is available and contribute what is missing • Freely combine data from multiple sources • Enable unpredicted use of sensor data the Internet the sensornet (aggregate)

  5. Challenges • Scale • Potentially millions of sensors • No central control • New sensor may pop up anywhere, anytime • No central registry • Variation in data quality • Structured, well-managed sensornet • Citizen-initiated sensornet • How to discover? What to trust? Which one to use?

  6. Sensor Search Engine • Data broker between sensornet publisher and data consumer • “Crawl” and index sensor data • Starting from known sensors and by following republication chain • Ranking and clustering sensors • Based on their quality, data type, geo-location, trustworthiness, etc. • How does it discover sensornets? Where does it get the meta data?

  7. Linking and Tagging Sensor Data • Re-publication and tagging as the first-class citizen • Allows users easily share aggregated and/or tagged sensor data • Tremendous efforts already put into by data consumer • Ranking and clustering sensors • Republication as “vote of confidence” • Aggregation as “similarity grouping” • Accuracy estimation based on past data

  8. Unique Properties of Sensor Data? • (Mostly) time series of numeric values • Temporal query is often important • Aggregation possible • Min, max, average, sum, … • Multiple data presentation possibilities • Visualization, multi-resolution, aggregation

  9. Research Issues • How to express temporal queries? • Popular time-series queries for sensor data? • How to support temporal queries efficiently? • Signature computation? Indexing? • How to present data? • Visualization? Multi-resolution? Trustworthiness? • How does multiple aggregations interact? • Max over Min? Lineage tracing? • How does aggregation affect data quality?
