Cooperative semantic sensor networks for pervasive computing contexts

The Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) merges the Internet of Things with knowledge representation and reasoning techniques borrowed from the Semantic Web, in order to improve resource management and discovery. This paper proposes a SWoT framework in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enabling cooperative discovery of sensors and actuators. A backward-compatible extension of the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) makes possible to use semantic matchmaking via non-standard reasoning to better characterize the resource discovery. The framework also integrates nimble data stream mining to detect and annotate high-level events through raw data gathered from the environment. A cooperative environmental monitoring case study in Hybrid Sensor and Vehicular Networks (HSVN) is presented together with experiments on a real testbed to assess feasibility and benefits of proposal.
