Dynamic Monitoring Dashboards Through Composition of Web and Visualization Services

In order to present and communicate the condition of monitored environments to supervising experts, a dashboard is needed to present the status of all sensors. The heterogeneity and vast amount of sensors, as well as the difficulty of creating interesting sensor data combinations, hinder the deployment of fixed structure dashboards as they are unable to cope with the accordingly vast amount of required mappings. Therefore, in this paper, the development of a dynamic dashboard is presented, able to visualize any particular and user defined data and sensor composition. By implementing the heterogeneous sensors as semantically annotated Web apis, a dynamic sensor composition and visualization is enabled. The resulting condition monitoring dashboard provides a clear overview of the system kpis in acceptable timing and provides helpful tools to detect anomalies in system behaviour.
