S-Sensors: Integrating physical world inputs with social networks using wireless sensor networks

Real-world monitoring and surveillance applications are rapidly increasing with the growth in the demand for awareness of the environment and surrounding. Sensor-to-web integration models are envisaged to improve the utilisation of sensory infrastructures and data via advanced coordination and collaboration of sensor nodes and web applications. This paper proposes to employ micro-blogging to publish and share sensory data and resources. S-Sensors provides a framework to globally share locally measured sensory readings. Short messages depicting the status of the environment are used to convey sensory data of the physical world. Moreover, data accessibility and resource manageability are facilitated by using social networks paradigms to form communities of sensor networks.
