A peer-to-peer environment for monitoring multiple wireless sensor networks

In this work we present the basic concepts in the architecture of a peer-to-peer environment for monitoring multiple wireless sensor networks, called ShareSense. ShareSense, which is currently under development, uses JXTA as a peer-to-peer substrate. We demonstrate its basic functionalities using a simple application scenario, which utilizes multiple disparate wireless sensor networks. This application scenario involves monitoring of such networks using a separate management environment and a custom application GUI, as well as using Google Earth as an additional user interface.
