A Service-Oriented Architecture Suite for Sensor Management in Distributed Surveillance Systems

The increased popularity of the proactive security paradigm aggravated the need for distributed surveillance systems. These systems are built using smart sensor networks which cover large areas of civilian concentration. Such networks need intelligent management systems to control the large number of sensor nodes and the large volume of data. Sensor Management Frameworks (SMF) aim to coordinate the sensor nodes in a manner that improves the process of system control and situation awareness. Most SMFs proposed in literature are point solutions that do not use generic development architectures to allow reusability and extendability of different research projects. This work introduces an organizational development suite based on the service-oriented architecture to address the requirements of SMF from a stacked layer perspective. Furthermore, this paper discusses the important functional properties of such systems, and categorizes these functional properties according to their processing level. A case study was proposed that shows the extendability and reusability of the proposed organizational suite.
