Can the Challenges of IOT be Overcome by Virtual Sensors

In present time, IOT built with sensors promise to provide an efficient and automated way of living. However certain shortcomings of sensing technology still remain unsolved and demand to be addressed elegantly. In this paper, several challenges of IOT are addressed using properties of virtual sensors. We have carefully studied and experimented with these properties like cloning, multiple event detection, abstraction which are not merely effective in providing a software version of a small sensor device, but offer facilities like a large memory, more processing power leading to a powerful tool for IOT based sensor technology.
