Network-Aware Wireless Sensor Data Management

Sensor Networks have brought closer than ever before the network and database research communities. A novel sensor data management paradigm appeared with the development of data centric routing protocols viewing the network as a huge distributed database. However, this paradigm is typically supported through a query processing layer that treats the wireless network as a black box and underestimates its fundamental limitations. In this seminar we elaborate on these limitations and utilize them in favor of efficient data management in wireless sensor environments.
